Excellent Guide June 9, 2008

This book is very well written. Although the writer addresses her subject from the perspective of a medical spouse and surviving the ordeals of marriage, family, and spouse medical training, I found this to be an exceptional guide for any young couple regardless of their profession. There are many nuggets of sage advice that can not only be helpful but give the reader a chance to learn about what works and does not work so they can avoid making mistakes and help make their relationships more successful.

This book is really great. It's very well-organized and consice. It is full of helpful references and links, but really you don't need to look at any links because the book covers everything so thoroughly! I am a wife of a resident, and I would suggest this book to everyone- especially those considering starting medical school as either as student or a spouse! The author's stories are touching and to-the-point also-- I found myself reading on to the next chapter just because I wanted to read the author's introductory vignette to each new topic!

Hey -
I haven't read this book, but have just found out about it and also have just finished residency (My husband finished, not me!) I'm actually not in the medical field at all, but have started an online community for medical spouses, to assist them in connecting with others in all stages of medicine. www.whitecoatwives.com I hope it helps you!
