Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Take My Spouse, Please
Dani Klein Modisett · 2015
78/100
👍 Worth It
Using the rules of stand-up comedy to illuminate what makes a marriage work is a genuinely fresh angle, and Dani Klein Modisett pulls it off with warmth and real insight rather than cheap laughs. The celebrity endorsement pile is impressive and largely credible, and the advice lands because it's grounded in timing, listening, and commitment — things that actually matter in relationships. Couples who connect with the comedy frame will get a lot out of this; those who don't may find the metaphor wearing thin.
