About this title

About the Author:

Our first time author, Ron Benton (that's me) is, in general, pretty clueless about relationships. BUT, for some silly reason I wound up being the guy with a ton and I mean a TON of romantic ideas rolling around in my otherwise crazy head. And surprisingly enough, I lived my life thinking that every other guy walked around thinking the same and doing the same things I do. That was UNTIL...a group of my female friends said, "Oh, no no no!! None of us have EVER had any guy do the stuff you're talking about." I couldn't believe it! So, after a few long talks over cocktails (okay, they were buying so it was a bunch of cocktails) they prodded me into writing down some of my ideas and after almost 4 years of learning how to self-publish a book (don't even get me started on what a nightmare that is) 12 Things is finally here for you to help remind the very special woman in your life, how ridiculously cool she is. Guys, you are not going to believe how easy this is and ladies, this is a great gift for your husband, boyfriend, dad or any other guy in your life who could benefit from being a little more thoughtful. The world could always use a little more of that, right? Actually, he's going to like it no matter what, because being a guy, I understand that lots of pics of pretty girls will keep them interested, so I added plenty of 'em. As for me personally, I'm a radio guy in Oklahoma City. I do a Sports Talk morning show 6-9:30 CST on The Sports Animal 98.1 FM. You can grab the app at thesportsanimal.com and I also do the afternoon show 4-6 P.M. CST on a Classic Rock station 96.9 BOB-FM. (yes, I agree, they are working me far too hard) You can check this show out at 969bobfm.com I moved to Oklahoma City from my hometown of Baltimore in 1994 thinking I'd be here for about 5 minutes but just fell in love with the place. Except for the tornadoes, earthquakes and droughts, it's seriously a great place to live. The people are absolutely amazing! Anything else you'd like to know, just hit me up on Facebook. Enjoy the book!!

Review:

I love that somebody finally put out a type of instruction booklet on thoughtfulness. Everyone wants to be appreciated and, from my experience, most of my friends break up, separate or even get divorced simply because they no longer felt appreciated in the relationship. They felt like they were being taken for granted. And who wants to feel that way? Just remember the basics: Say please, thank you, and you re welcome. And this book goes a step beyond and offers easy-to-follow directions for any man, even the selfproclaimed romantic, to show his love. Have fun guys! You won't regret your efforts. --Amy Welch (Communications Director)

Damn you, Ron Benton! Where was 12 Things when I was courting my wife? This is a Cliffs Notes masterpiece on how to properly romance a woman. There is also no better guide to damage control after a misstep! Consider this a 12-step program for lazy, broke romantics. Avoid the pain and suffering of trial-by-error while wooing a woman and read 12 Things before your adventure begins.

Working in the area of men's health, our goal has always been to create awareness and educate men on the importance of taking care of their physical and mental health. However, we very rarely discuss the subject of healthy relationships. We promote the quest for men's long-term health, but no matter how many miles you jog or how many salads you eat, if you re not happy at home and in your personal relationships, your healthy behavior may not last. Ron's book is a fun and humorous endeavor that gives men new things to think about and positive ideas for starting and keeping their relationships alive and well. On a personal note, after being married more than 20 years, these 12 Things are really going to come in handy. Happy wife, happy life! --Stephen Petty (Director, INTEGRIS Men s Health University)
