The Surrendered Wife: A Practical Guide to Finding Intimacy, Passion, and Peace with a Man, (Paperback)

Honestly, I was skeptical about this. My husband and I were struggling due to my control issues. I figured, what the heck, why not read it? People assume it's something it's not but if you read it you'll understand. The "surrender " is basically "giving up unnecessary control". It's not "be subservient to your husband". It has helped us tremendously, it has helped ME tremendously. I used control as a defense response to fear for 27 years. Now, I have put all my trust and faith into my husband to take control of certain aspects of our marriage. We divide the work and I don't micro manage him anymore. I've also noticed that the nicer and more pleasant I am, the kinder and gentler he is. It's also made me a better mother. Learning to let to of insignificant negativity and replace it with appreciation and positivity. We don't always see our own selves and the things we do wrong. But this book was very eye opening. I truly recommend it. "We can not change anyone, but we can change ourselves." But if you change for the better, you'll notice others around you change for the better as well.

I read through surrendered wife, by a friends house she was telling me how it's magic. and i was shocked. That doesn't seem like a good close marriage to me. Maybe if u got stuck with a control freak and u wanna stay and deal with her few yrs till she changes, then the book is good for u, or maybe a formal kind marriage But honestly I have most fun marriage and we can tell each other the meanest words and demand stuff.. But we're so open and close, constant compliments aren't necessary.. Our facial expressions Talk for itself and body movements!i mean ye if we're going on walk or vacation we can talk about good stuff and how we appreciate each other's.. If my wife doesn't help me with directions I'd be upset. There could be 2 ppl saying same words-If it's someone bossy/controlling u can tell on her face and tone of voice.. But good girls can say what they want no problem it comes with such softness and closeness. I really feel bad for ppl that have to be soo careful what the say.. And yelling.?? Come on she must be soo immature.. Dono what to tell u guys. Ppl are complex but it's great to be natural. Then she says about verbal abuse or emotional abuse as if it's always fixable Ppl that are verbally abused say they wish their spouse hits them. So what does that mean.. Also it's says its for wives. Truthfully I can see many men like that Anyhow she's basically saying her life story it's definitely not for everyone
