title: Clash of the Couples: A Humorous Collection of Completely Absurd Lovers' Squabbles and Relationship Spats
author:  Crystal Ponti 
description: <span>By the end, readers will have learned that couples can apparently fight over almost anything--food, thermostat settings, car care. Many end with valuable advice or lessons learned (some of them sweet). As a whole, however, the book is full of short, lightly entertaining accounts that may serve as reminders that, whatever argument readers are currently embroiled in, empirical evidence exists that other couples have equally stupid fights.<i>Publishers Weekly</i></span><i>(via BookLife)</i>
