I loved this book. Its practical, insightful, and most importantly, motivating to draw closer to our spouses. Rick is a wonderful writer who inspires.
Jim Burns , PhD , president, HomeWord; author of Creating an Intimate Marriage , Closer , and Getting Ready for Marriage
Rick Johnsons work is always a gift! A humorous, insightful, practical gift to the reader. Romancing Your Better Half is full of not just wise advice but ultra-practical steps for how to ensure your marriage continues to be something that you will enjoy and treasure for a lifetime. Which means Ricks latest book is something couples will treasure too!
Shaunti Feldhahn , social researcher and bestselling author of For Women Only , For Men Only , and The Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages
Rick Johnson encourages men to be men and women to be women. Thats refreshing. Written in his candid and engaging style, Romancing Your Better Half is going to reignite and, very likely, rescue thousands of marriages. Not by ripping down and rebuilding. Instead, Rick invites husbands and wives to look at marriage from each others viewpoint. Its brilliant! Suddenly the secrets to romance and intimacy arent secret anymore.
Jay Payleitner , producer, speaker, and bestselling author of Things Husbands Need from Their Wives
To the love of my life and the best wife a man could ever hope for
my Suzanne
There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in youof kindness and consideration and respectnot only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didnt know you had.
John Steinbeck
People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each others personalities. Who wouldnt? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But thats not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partners faults honestly and say, I can work around that. I can make something out of it? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and its always going to be pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.
Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage
What if God didnt design marriage to be easier? What if God had an end in mind that went beyond our happiness, our comfort, and our desire to be infatuated and happy as if the world were a perfect place? What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?
Gary Thomas, Sacred Marriage

Back Cover
A book is an insentient entity that has life breathed into it by an innumerable amount of people during its creation. In some ways it parallels the story of Frankensteins monster.
The author of a book actually has only a small part of its development. Here is my perception of the process involved, at least when I write books (probably most writers have their own unique experience):
The writer (me) has the initial idea, then the acquisitions editor begins the process by seeing that vision and submitting it to the publishing committee for approval. Once the acquisition of a book is approved, a contract is negotiated by an agent and all sorts of secretive (and likely tightfisted) accounting types at the publishing house, then an initial draft of the manuscript is written over many months. It is then reviewed by the acquisitions editor, who throws out most of the junk and molds and twists the material into something resembling an actual book. After rewrites and excruciating revisions (all under an extremely short deadline), the innocent writer then resubmits it to the editor, who fine-tunes it and again snips and gouges out all the garbage (usually the best stuff) the writer tried to sneak back into the text. After that, the manuscript is submitted to an in-house line editor who parses each sentence and picks it to death. Every word is looked at and compared to every word ever written in the history of the world. After another round of revisions guaranteed to bring out the pettiness in my nature, the book is formatted into its printed format called galleys. The galleys are sent back to the author to review for the 5,000th time and any final changes are incorporated before going to print. All this is happening while the poor writer is trying to work on his current manuscript as well.
During this entire process the author is also working on the next manuscript; marketing a previous book through social media, radio, and television interviews; filling out marketing and titling scripts; writing blogs for blog tours; developing leadership study guides for the book; thinking up and contacting potential endorsers and people of influence to send the book to; creating a list of people who contributed to the book and get a free copy and a list of people who want a free book to write a review; recording radio spots; approving cover artwork; and generally about 400 other things at the same time.
All that whining and complaining aside, I seem to be one of the few lucky individuals who has made a full-time living as a writer for the past nine years. Thats not because Im such a great writer, but more because I have such a great team of people supporting me and making my books better as well as getting them into the hands of my faithful readers. These people are the real heroes behind the scene as they put up with all my snarling and griping and still seem to like working with me (or else they are just very professional and have me fooled). They probably do twice the work under much more stressful conditions than I do, because each of them is working with a plethora of authors all at the same time.
