"A candid, subtly profound collection."-Kirkus
"Franklin's essays are just deep enough not to be trivial, just light-hearted enough not to be heavy, and readable enough not to be dull. Highly recommended!"-Reading Glutton
"With humor and honesty, Franklin draws wisdom from a variety of experiences in his first collection of personal essays."-Library Journal
"As a title, My Wife Wants You to Know I'm Happily Married has the hollow ring of a bumper sticker or T-shirt. Luckily, the contents promise a much stronger, deeper resonance with thoughtful readers who may see themselves reflected in Franklin's often universally recognizable stories about childhood, children, growing up and adulthood."-Rob LeFebvre, Shelf Awareness
"Franklin comes across as an affable and reflective person, and I have a hard time imagining that there are people out there who might not like this book."-William Bradley, Brevity
"Much more than a collection of musings on marriage. It's an exploration between writer and reader, who themselves are forced to feel one another out, hopeful for a happily ever after."-Charlotte Kupsh, Pleiades Book Review
“Compassionate, clear-headed, reliable, and funny. If a book could be the best man at my wedding, I’d choose this one.”-Dinty W. Moore, author of Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy
