My friend Ted Wentworth knows what he's talking about. He is a nationally

employment issues, which means that his everyday, professional
association keep him in contact with the practical side of
male-female relationships and interpersonal issues. He knows his
stuff -- both the theory and the practice. But in a book like this,

savvy are what make the critical difference. When you read these
pages, you'll know the author has an ample supply of both.
In Build a Better Spouse Trap, you'll hear Ted Wentworth as a
straight-talking professional, and you'll also come to know him
personally, as a man with deep feelings. You'll experience his
true heart -- which is also the heart of this book -- in his caring
and kindness, in his feelings for and about women, in his
attention to both the sweeping broad strokes and fine brushworks of
developing and nurturing an intimate personal relationship. You'll
recognize Ted as a smart, practical guy who deeply cares about
people and who, in particular, genuinely loves, respects,
and appreciates women.
With deep feeling, Ted describes his struggle to regain his balance after
his wife of twenty-two years died of cancer. His love and caring
are evident when he describes how he went searching for -- and
finally found -- his new "best friend and wife," the
woman he wanted to profoundly to bring into his life. He canny
intelligence is apparent in the the strategy he developed on his
own to finding her. (He methodically checked out 130 other
candidates first.) It's a strategy he describes in detail, so you
can reap the benefits of everything he learned.
Here then, from a man whose mind and heart abound his both practicality
and wisdom, are the real-life facts you'll wish your father had
given you when you were starting to date. They are also the very
things you may wish you'd been able to -- or still can -- tell your
son or nephew or grandson when he starts to date and move into
adult relationships. In fact, the information in this book is
timeless, and you wouldn't be off-base to give a copy to every
person you know.
Ted Wentworth knew how to look for the woman his heart was yearning for
... and he found her. We're lucky he decides to pass his secrets
along the rest of us.-- Jack Canfield,
