The famous passage from St. Paul in the Letter to the Ephesians, which says, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord," is well-known, but the second part is often overlooked: "Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her." This is one of the few biblical quotes in the book, which is structured as a series of letters written to friends, some of whom are imaginary, but with very concrete advice drawn from everyday life.

The reading is very enjoyable, and it creates a desire to share all the solutions the author has come up with. The book is inspired by many of the author's psychology sessions and uses in-depth studies on the current state of the family. It is a work that blends seriousness and humor, just like life itself for those who know how to approach it in the same way the author does.
