Didn't actually finish it, but if the remainder is anything like what I have read I'm not getting any new information.
I remember buying this book and reading this book in my early 20s, in college. I remember laughing at some parts and thinking it was a joke. But do I believe in a lot of what is in this book maybe. Never asked a man if this information was accurate.

Excelent book. Omg every woman should read it. It really gave me a good perspective on the simple men.
The advice was good and it was written with care and humor. I enjoyed the book.
slow-paced
I read this for a report on sexist relationship self help in literature and it is exactly that. Rampant with advice telling women that they should set aside their own goals, needs, and desires to fully support and coddle their infantile, yet somehow also terrifying, husbands. Because apparently men can’t support their wives before they reach their own goals.
I was floored! The advice in this been was so sexist I was sure it was written in the 1940s.

A very entertaining read. I liked the way it empowers (or gives permission to) women to respect themselves and take a stand in relationships.
However, I also feel this book fails to account for different permutations among individual men and women; and to account for the involvement of God in one's relationship. Though not specifically a "Christian" or religious book, God, faith, and even Jesus in particular are mentioned rather frequently. They are mentioned more as a personal character trait, though--as something we try to incorporate--instead of as the living entity and influence and motivator God should be in the life of specifically Christian people.
I didn't really expect God to get a mention at all, but since He did, and since I was reading *Sacred Marriage" concurrently with this book, I guess the difference in emphasis (our efforts versus God's influence--and calling) kind of stood out to me.
