Description

The marriage guide women never expected to love but then called life-changing and pressed into the hands of women everywhere—now revised and updated, The Surrendered Wife is the New York Times bestseller that has transformed countless marriages.

You love your husband. But sometimes it feels like you’re the only one trying. You remind. You plan. You make everything run smoothly—and yet the more effort you put in, the more distant he seems.

In The Surrendered Wife, you’ll learn why when you stop trying to manage—and fix—things, your partner will lean in. The tender touches will return and he will help without your having to ask.

Counterintuitive? Absolutely. Effective? Millions of women say yes.

The Surrendered Wife equips you to:
• Say the simple phrases that inspire your husband to step up
• Bring back the man you fell in love with—without reminding
• Stop unknowingly pushing him away—and start drawing him closer
• Enjoy the marriage you dreamed of when you said “I do”

It’s easier than you think.

    I was very doubtful when my sister told me of this book and approach. Desperate to turn around my marriage I decided to surrender too. I've given up the horrible learned behaviors I watched my whole life with my mother and she watched from her Mother. I hope to set a better example for my daughter and son so they are able to have a healthy relationship someday. thank you! Ps. The first week I had baffled looks and comments about my attitude and a bouquet of roses (hadnt recieved flowers in well over a year before this!) on my table at the end of the first week and much needed time out!

    As I read the book I felt more and more as though the author wrote it about me. I was lucky enough to discover 6 months into my marriage that I was being very controlling with my husband. He had retreated. I no longer received affection, and intimacy was a thing of the past. I spent two months blaming my husband for his lack of interest. I prayed after a long night of arguing and the next morning as if it were shown to me in a dream I saw my error. I had emasculated my husband to the point he no longer felt amorous feelings toward me. I frantically searched the Internet for self help books and found this one. I began reading and following the instruction and within a week my husband was opening doors for me, we made love again, he told me I was beautiful and he didn't miss an opportunity to tell me he loved me. I am simply amazed and thankful.

    This book is funny and entertaining, but most of all it was full of good medicine for my marriage. I didn't realize how shrill I'd gotten, and how that was causing such a strain on us until I read the very same conversations that we have in this book. It was eerie, like someone had been recording our conversations. I recognized myself in the pages and I knew the ideas in the book were right. I didn't like the title at all, but i'm glad I looked part that to get to the treasures in this book. My marriage is do much better and I'm happier for it.
