After 40 years of marriage, ad executive Mark Hurst offers a playful, visually creative meditation on why perfect marriages don't exist. Using the letters of the word PAIRFECTION as an organizing device, he mixes advertising wisdom, personal stories, scripture, and humor to encourage couples to trust their instincts, communicate, keep romance alive, and settle into a marriage that's "real, comfortable, and right." Light on rules and heavy on encouragement, it's a browsable gift book rather than a step-by-step guide.

  • An ad man's fresh, funny take: he uses marketing taglines and a 'needs/wants quotient' to decode marriage
  • Relief-driven message: perfect marriages are a mirage, so stop chasing perfection and be 'PAIRFECT'
  • Rooted in a real 40-year marriage, with honest, self-deprecating stories
  • Highly designed and browsable—a perfect coffee-table gift book for couples

Perfect for a married couple—especially an LDS or broadly Christian one—looking for a lighthearted, encouraging gift book rather than a serious how-to guide on saving or improving their marriage.
