Review

"Greg Godek should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for teaching 1001 Ways to Be Romantic." -- Boston Magazine

"Greg is helping millions of us to better understand our most important value-- love." -- Mark Victor Hansen, co-author Chicken Soup for the Soul

"Worth memorizing." -- Boston Herald

I would honestly have to agree with all of these reviews.  I couldn't decide which one to include so because they are all so pertinent to this book.  If you are romantic, want to be romantic, have a spouse who needs to be romantic then this is the book for you.  It's written as a list and gives ideas on ways to show your spouse that you are thinking of them.  Some ideas are simple like #161 "Learn your partner's 'hot buttons' - and vow to never hit them" or #587 "Songs that celebrate love and marriage.  Make a tape (or play list) for your anniversary, a birthday or just to celebrate your love next Tuesday"  Next is a list of songs you could use.  They are also elaborate or expensive like #886 "The most romantic restaurant in Vienna: Steirereck"  He also includes websites and tourist numbers to several countries in the margin on this page.  He also includes themes, for example #503 "The Gift:  Costume Jewelry.  The Note:  'The diamond is fake - but the love is real.'  The Song:  'Diamond Girl,' by Seals & Crofts. 


Godek offers a variety of other books to help inspire the romantic in you including 10,000 ways to say 'I Love You' and Romantic Mischief: The Playful Side of Love.  An awesome and fun book.  We own several that he has written and I've read through each of them a minimum of once...most of them at least twice.  I'm on the third reading of this book.  A must-have if you want to keep the spark alive in your relationship.
