Choreplay: The Marriage-Saving Magic of Getting Your Head Out of Your Ass - Hardcover

by Jordan Carlos (Author), Charlamagne Tha God (Foreword by)

"This is a damn marriage manual disguised as a comedy special. A Trojan Swiffer, if you will." --Lenard "Charlamagne Tha God" McKelvey

From veteran comedian, husband, and "great dad" Jordan Carlos comes a hilarious and helpful account of what it really takes, as a straight man, to keep your marriage going strong.

Choreplay is a laugh-out-loud, gamified guide to recognize what you've got before you lose it all. It's about putting in the effort in small ways that yield big results, like bringing your wife her morning coffee in bed, learning the names of your children's doctors and what medicines they take, exercising, protecting your gains, doing what you want, and going the f*ck to bed!

This manual is part memoir, part advice, and a lot of comedy. Most of all, it's a testament to love conquering all the petty, banal strife and turning those day-to-day moments into the very thing that saves a marriage. Guaranteed sex for life, but also self-worth.

Many men give plenty, but it's wiser to give well--to our partners, our families, and ourselves. Jordan Carlos has mastered the art of choreplay, and you, my dude, can f*ck with it too.

"If I'd had this book five years ago, I'd still be married." --Sarah Cooper, award-winning comedian, actress, and author of Foolish
