Description
Every two minutes, a woman dies. Not from rare diseases, but from causes that her partner could have prevented by simply being the “husband”.
Dr. Hilda, as an OB-GYN, has seen the best and worst of husbands and women’s regrets at the maternal bedside. Over a decade in her career, she has noticed something, a pattern she describes as the “partner factor” about women who survive childbirth, live long and healthy after having children, and those who don’t. These are realities that most women don’t see when they’re choosing a partner, and marriage counsellors don’t see that either. But it’s there. This is a thousand-dollar worth of session in a book that will save your life. In this book, Dr. Hilda invites you to a serious conversation before you say “I do” or after to help you secure your life. You can rely on this book. You can rely on the questions it will make you ask, the intel it will give you, the conversations it will force you to have, and the clarity it will give you about the person beside you, which you have not taken note of or ignored, and your future health outcomes under his care as your spouse. Then the choice will be yours, to either build stronger the union that has added rich years to your life or to focus on building and revitalising your own life more to gain back lost years.

I cried planning for my death, but now I sleep better knowing my kids are protected.
Barbara –
The “Health Calculator” was scary accurate. Predicted 72 years based on my family history.
Karen O. –
Love and mortality. Usually these are separate. I appreciated the honesty.
Sandra –
Tells you exactly how to prepare your husband if you pass early. Grocery lists, bills, etc.

My husband and I did the “Lifespan Quiz” together. It brought us closer, not apart.
Helen –
A bit fatalistic. Your lifespan isn’t set in stone. But the lifestyle changes suggested are good.
Susan –
Includes life insurance worksheets and will templates. Not romantic, but essential.
Carol –
The love letters template is beautiful. I wrote them for my daughter.
Elizabeth –
I never thought about my lifespan affecting my husband’s grief. This is a tough but important conversation.
Donna –
Not for newlyweds. For wives married 10+ years who need to do estate planning.
