Abstract
In their wildly successful dating guide, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider make their readers a promise: "Follow The Rules, and he will not just marry you, but feel crazy about you, forever! What we are promising you is 'happily ever after.' A marriage truly made in heaven." As a 1996 New York Times Bestseller, The Rules: Time Tested Secrets for Capturing the Hearts of Mr. Right spawned multiple sequels, including The Rules II: More Rules to Live and Love By (1998), The Rules for Marriage: Time-Tested Secrets for making Your Marriage Work (2002), and The Rules for Online Dating: Capturing the heart of Mr. Right in Cyberspace (2002). Referred to as "the original dating bible" by American Woman magazine, these dating guides created a movement of followers called "Rules Girls," who believe that Fein and Schneider will lead them down the aisle into marital bliss.
