Is a Submissive Wife the Key to a Happy Marriage?
Author Laura Doyle thinks so, and apparently a lot of people agree with her because this new bestselling book is flying off the shelves.
With divorce rates reported at fifty percent in recent years, could the problem be that women no longer respect the man of the house? Maybe wives can simply learn to behave and all will be well.
In her new, surprisingly popular and not surprisingly, controversial book, The Surrendered Wife, Laura Doyle proposes that every woman should stop trying to control her husband, cease all criticism of him, learn not to interrupt and definitely apologize if she becomes "disrespectful."
She should leave finances, investments and purchases in his trusted care, say what she wants from time to time, but ever so kindly, and without stirring up any conflict.
Of course, sex is an obligation of marriage, explains Doyle, and should be surrendered to at least once a week whether a woman is in the mood or not. A wife is allowed to feel, but not to actually think, at least not about anything of significance, and she should expect her husband to think, but not to feel. In a blissful marriage, the roles are clear cut, neat, and rarely overlapping.
