A newly-released book, titled 'You Can Be Right (or You Can Be Married)', has revealed what divorced people think about marriage and what suggestions they have for married couples.

The book, authored by Dana Adam Shapiro, claimed, among other things, that couples should not sit together when they go out to dinner with other people, as they have nothing to talk about when you get home since they have been with each other the whole time, News.com.au reported.

According to one of the many divorced people interviewed for the book, one cannot win love from people, either it's there in a relationship or its not.

Another said that someone getting married should not learn how to get along, but learn how to fight fairly and productively with their partner.

Some divorcees also asserted that couples should remember to indulge in romantic time, avoid fighting over little things, and not show lack of enthusiasm while in bed.
