The Surrendered Wife : A Practical Guide to Finding Intimacy, Passion, and Peace with Your Man

Helpful Score: 4


Warning! This is not a book for those whose husbands:
1. Are physically abusive to their wife
2. Are physically abusive to their children
3. Have an active addiction (such as drugs, alcohol, or gambling)
4. Is chronically unfaithful

One of the best features of this book is that each chapter is split into smaller sections of one to four pages. These small sections allow the reader to take the, sometimes overwhelming, information and ideas in little chunks. The ideas and suggestions are supported by examples from her own experience and that of others in her circle.

While one may not agree with the conclusions the authors draws from certain scenarios, the information is worth considering. Many of the exercises suggested would be worth trying. Not just once, because change happens over time, but several times.

This book isn't about changing oneself or changing ones husband. This book is about transforming the relationship into something satisfying and fulfilling for both the husband and the wife. But one should remember that things cannot possibly get better if no changes are made, they will only stay the same.
