Helen Andelin - Fascinating Womanhood

There is in this world no function more important than that of being charming, to shed joy around, to cast light upon dark days is not this to render a service?

Victor Hugo

To be loved and cherished is a womans heartfelt desire in marriage. This book is written to restore your hope in this desire and to suggest principles to apply in winning a mans genuine love.

Is married life all you had hoped and dreamed it would be? Do you feel cherished, honored, and adored? Or, do you feel neglected, unappreciated, and unloved? If so, are you resigned to this condition, thinking there is nothing better to be had? Or, do you still believe in the dream, continue to search for the guidelines to a happy marriage? Do you find fragments of information here and there, but blind alleys where there seem to be no answers? Do you feel lost in a sea of darkness?

Or, you may be in greater darkness. You may think you are happy, when in reality you are not. Your marriage may seem happy when compared to others, but you fail to see that there is more. You lack the vision to see how happy a marriage can be, and should be. You are satisfied to eat the crumbs that fall from the table, for you have never tasted the banquet. You think the weeds are pretty, for you have never seen beautiful flowers. You may even be content with hell because you have never had a glimpse of heaven.

Or, you may be one of those rare few who has already achieved a happy marriage. But, is it all you dreamed it would be? Do you feel a need for a richer fuller life? If so, are you open-minded, and willing to learn new concepts of how to build a truly happy marriage, one in which you feel not only loved but cherished?

What is happiness for a woman? If you are single you may find happiness in service and in your own conquering spirit in reaching goals, solving problems, and personal growth. If you are married, additional things must be consideredhappy and healthy children, a successful husband who provides economic security, your personal success in creating a happy home, organizing your life so you have time for talents and other interests. Fundamental, however, is your husbands love. If he doesnt love you, your life will be an empty shell.

The first step to a happy marriage is to understand that all life is governed by lawnature, music, art, and all of the sciences. These laws are immutable. To live in harmony with them produces health, beauty, and the abundant life. To violate them brings ugliness and destruction. Just as unwavering are the laws of human relationships. These laws are in operation even though you may not understand them. You may be happy in marriage because you obey them, or you may be unhappy because you violate them without an awareness of the laws in operation.

Through ignorance of the laws of marriage relationships, much unnecessary unhappiness exists. We find one woman happy, honored, and loved; and anotherno less attractive, no less admirable, no less lovableneglected, unhappy, and disappointed. Why? This book explains why, for it teaches the laws she must obey if she is to be loved, honored, and adored.

Fascinating Womanhood will teach you how to be happy in marriage. There are three essentials in reaching the goal:

Since the cornerstone of a happy marriage is love, you will learn how to awaken your husbands love. These teachings apply, no matter what your age or situation. Love is not limited to the young or the beautiful, but to those who have qualities that awaken it.

If your husband doesnt love you, you are likely doing something to cool his affections, or have lost something that awakens his love. You may have begun marriage lovingly but romance is fading. Why? Could it be that you have changed? Take a good look. In most cases a man stops loving a woman after marriage because she stops doing things which arouse his feelings. When you regain your charming ways, love can be rekindled.
