Boken handlar om vardagslivet i ett äktenskap och de problem som par ofta stöter på. Den handlar helt enkelt om föräldraskap, bonusbarn och kärlek. Kärlek till sina barn, sin fru och sin blivande älskarinna. Tony Parsons är känd för sin berättarförmåga och humor,det sistnämnda saknas en del i boken och Mannen och hustrun blir helt enkelt för realistisk och vardagstråkig för mig.
