Michael McCann is our Featured Guest for 06/17/09

Michael McCann is the author of  Husband-ry 101: How to Train Your Husband to Be the Spouse You’ve Always Wanted Him to Be. Michael has been speaking on marital communications for five years, since the first edition of Husband-ry 101 was published in 2004. A humorous and down-to-earth feel to his presentations ensures that his audience is comfortable and receptive to what he has to say, complimented by his trademark props.

Michael first got into the field of marital communications 8 years ago, after a conversation with his wife in the car. He and his wife were in the car talking about the same subject, even agreeing with each other, but neither could understand what the other was trying to convey. (This is something that I’m sure has happened to all of us at some point.) During the course of the conversation, Michael’s wife suggested that since he was a writer (business writer at the time)  he should write a book on marital communication.  Three years and many wife interviews later, Husband-ry 101 was born.

Michael first noticed that many of his friends and business contacts during his time as a business writer asked him about how they could improve their marriage. Explaining why, he says “these people would see my wife and I together and we actually ‘like’ each other.” Eventually, given the quality of his marriage, his abilities as a writer, and the prompting of his wife, Husband-ry 101 would come to be.

The current book is the second addition of Husbandry 101, and its chief distinguishing characteristic from the first book is the addition of more research on marriage in America. Michael has heard from wives of several other countries that in their opinion marriage in America “is not that far off from marriage in their country psychologically.” The additional research on American marriages should be of some use to those of us who want to train our American hubbies a little bit more.

Michael McCann has a BBA in Marketing from Baylor University (Waco, TX) and MBA from Texas A&M (Corpus Christi, TX). With over 25 years of writing experience and 8 years of wife interviews behind him, he is an expert in the field of marital communications. He lives in The Woodlands, Texas with his wife. He has been happily married for 24 years and is extremely proud of his 31-year-old stepson.
