   Your Husband’s Health: Simplify Your Worry List came out at a critical time for my husband and me. His best freind, Tom, and his wife were on vacation last month. Tom went swimming in the ocean, became very short of breath, and keeled over dead. It was a terrible shock to all of us, and has made us understand our own mortality.
   I countered the fear for my own husband by studying the pertinent advice in this well written book. It now seems relevant what the doctor has been saying about cholestoral and blood pressure. I understand my husband’s emotional changes and growth at mid-age much better.
   Although the sections on deadly physical problems helped me through the crisis of Tom’s sudden death, I probably benefitted most from “Regrets and Longings” because i better understand what I can do to keep our marriage happy and fulfilling for the both of us.
   I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about a man in the mid-life age range, it may help you save his life.

   I am 53 and read Your Husband’s Health out of curiosity about my own
   health. I seldom go to the doctor so most of this was new and
   interesting information. I particularly liked the section entitled
   Regrets and Longings. I wish my wife had read that ten years ago. The
   book is well written, concise and kept my attention. There are some
   wonderful stories and humor interspersed with the medical information.
   I highly reccomend this to midlife men and their wives as a good place
   to start understanding their own health and preserving that health for
   later in life.
