Great book! The author teaches about how to practicaly give up being CONTROLLING in your marriage. Many, many women do not realize that the reason our marriages are suffering is that we have become nags and enforcers of our own opinions, thinking we know better than our husbands in every area! The book talks about how our husbands really do have brains and can even have better ideas than we do :)

Very good book, still sorting through it and learning how to fit the principles secretly into my marriage!

One of my favorite suggestions is saying, "Whatever you think," when your husband shares an idea or opinion, ESPECIALLY when you disagree. Really shows great respect for him. I'm already seeing changes in our marriage when I use that phrase. My husband feels so respected that I'm actually listening to his ideas and not shooting them down if I don't like them.

I loved that the author came from a feminist perspective. She says that she is feminist in the work place, but very feminine in her marriage--there is a time & a place for being controlling and in charge, and it doesn't work in marriage!
