James Howard served in the United States Navy in the early 1960s. In addition to having been a sales professional for 30 years, he has been a draftsman, job developer and now and now an author of the booklet UBERCouple. James Howard said of UBERCouple, “Twenty years ago my new wife and I started fighting a bit too much. So to help smooth the relationship, I read a couple of excellent books on how to make your marriage happier and put what I read to work. It is now twenty plus years later, and my wife and I have an uber sort of life. I've never been happier. It was time to share. I've condensed the things that worked best into a booklet of seven brief, easy little things to creating a loving environment.”
