One woman undertakes a worldwide search to learn the secrets of a great marriage—and finds one foundational truth that could change everything.

Fawn Weaver was a happily married woman running a successful business—and then something happened. Maybe it was divorce rate reports on the evening news, The Real Housewives of Orange County, or any daytime talk show where husbands and wives dramatically reveal their betrayals. Everywhere she looked, Fawn saw negative portrayals of marriage dominating the airwaves and dooming everyone to failure.

Looking at Keith, the love of her life, she knew that wasn’t true. She was determined to find and connect with women just like her—happy and optimistic about marriage, deeply in love with her spouse, and committed to building a strong marriage that stands the test of time.

On a whim,she started the blog HappyWivesClub.com and sent the link to a few of new friends. What started as a casual invitation to five women exploded into an international online club with 150,000 members in more than 100 countries.

Happy Wives Club is Fawn’s journey across the world to meet her friends and discover what makes their marriages great. Join her on this exciting, exotic trip across six continents and through more than eighteen cities. Walk the streets of Mauritius, the historic ruins in Italy, and the vistas of New Zealand and Australia. Go from Cape Town to London, Manila to Buenos Aires, Winnipeg to Zagreb.

Along the way, you will meet everyday women whose marriage secrets span cultures. You will hear their stories, witness their love, and be inspired by the proof that happy, healthy marriages do exist—and yours can be one of them!

It turns out great marriages are all around us—when we look for them. Go on a trip with Fawn and learn the best marriage secrets the world has to offer.

It was a good book

Good overall. However, the writer is religious. Which makes the book somewhat religious people oriented

The book is an inspiration

Fawn, your path of life and exposure is beautiful. Thank you for helping me to be a happy wife, giving me life tools for my marriage and to many as I spread your words and lessons to all that needs it. You are incredible!

beautiful

this made me realize that I was making divorce an option in my marriage. I confessed to my husband the other day and told him there is no other option we're married for life. I want happiness with him

Lovely reading

Where does Happy Wives Club rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I think the book could have actually been shorter, and there was a lot of cliche and adjective use which at times made it hard to read. I also had an issue when she said those who aren't spiritual don't have as good of relationships. I believe that was ignorant and a turn off, something that should have been left out of the book. If there is anyone who is not too keen on overt displays of religiosity, this is not the book for you. However, I still enjoyed it. Sometimes it dragged but I think the advice was beautiful and I agree with Fawn that there are too many marriage haters in the world right now!

Would you recommend Happy Wives Club to your friends? Why or why not?

Depended on the friend.

What about Fawn Weaver’s performance did you like?

I love her voice. It is very soothing to hear.

I am a happy wife!

I felt like Fawn (and the other couples) had a window seat to our own marriage! Beautifully written and very inspiring!
