Rating: Summary: Wonderful Book! Review: I wasn't going to buy this book until I read the review from the dominant woman. I wish I had read it a long time ago!My background: I am a Protestant, middle-class wife living in a mid-Atlantic state in the United States with two kids. I have an idiot for a husband that I'm finally getting to submit. I couldn't figure why he couldn't be more like my dad. My dad jumps at my mom's every whim and is more than willing to service her every need. The guy I got stuck with thought that just because he goes to work forty hours a week, puts time in with the kids, and tries to help a little around the house, that it's enough. For instance, we only have three or four church activities in any given week, and I had to yank him around just to do that. He even thought that I should be doing the dishes! Things are much better now that I've got him under submission. Heehee, this is great! I hardly have to lift my little finger and he's immediately ready to service me! Highly recommended!
Rating: Summary: For Conservative Christians only Review: Once again a conservative minister with traditional views thinks women needed a man to not only think FOR them...but to tell us what WE are actually thinking!!!!! If you want to know what wives wish their husbands knew, ask a real wife. If you want to enhance your traditional conservative marriage, this book is for you. Otherwise, not good for modern couples
Rating: Summary: Silly claptrap Review: Ridiculous, laughable! Written by a patriarchial mentality. If a man wants to know what a woman thinks or wants, then a man must ask a woman. No man understands women! The only woman who could be 'explained' by this nonsense is one who's been brainwashed by patriarchial idelolgy, and there are quite a few of that type in America (and in Saudi Arabia, and in Afghanistan, and ....).
For a book that does explain women, to both women and men, see Simon de Beauvoir's 'The Second Sex'. Excellent text, I've read and reread it many times, with greeat benefit.
Rating: Summary: Shoudl be 0 stars... Review: There is a reason there are 247 used ones of this book.
We used this book in for our men's study group and every one of the men, and every one of the wives agreed, that this was a worthless book. It was written for a 1950's wife that no longer exists.
Now 3 truly wonderful books to help you with your wife are:
Discovering the Mind of a Woman by Ken Nair
If Only He Knew by Gary Smalley
Together Forever: How to Overcome Problems and Rekindle the Love in Your Marriage
by Anne Kristin Carroll
They are truly inspirational as to how to be a good husband.
Rating: Summary: ONLY for the conservative Review: This book is only for those with very traditional and conservative notions of male/female roles. As a woman and wife, Dobson didn't describe me at all, and he doesn't describe my husband either. If you believe as Dobson does, you will probably enjoy the book--it is well written and, at times, humorous. If you don't share that belief, you will probably be disappointed in the book.
