Laura Schlessinger - Woman Power: Transform Your Man, Your Marriage, Your Life

Consider this companion book your personal companion, as you take an important journey. I promised with The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands that if you buy the book, read it, and do what it suggestsyou will be happier that youre marriedand to him, within forty-eight hours. Sounded cheeky even to me! Then came the hundreds of letters that testified to the change having taken place within minutes or hours. That is because The Proper Care was not about awkward actions like greeting your man at the door in plastic wrapit was about a change in heart, mind, spirit, and attitude. Although they may joke to the contrary, men are really not very interested in daily raunchy seductions; they are desirous of daily warmth, appreciation, and affection. Inanimate objects are not required.

The Proper Care was also not, in spite of feminist reviews/tantrums to the contrary, about making women submissive, servile, opinionless, or weak. Quite the opposite, and that is why this book is titled Woman Power. As one male listener, a college professor, wrote:

We are each blessed with different moral powers. In some instances, these moral powers divide nicely along gender lines; in others, it is simply a matter of natural gifts. Giving is not about rendering oneself servile. Rather, it is about standing tall and using ones moral powers to enrich the moment. It is the exercise of our moral powers in this waybe it between husband and wife, or parents and children, or one human being and anotherthat so marvelously and wondrously sets us apart from the lower animals.

What has, throughout all time, been special about women is their natural tendency to bond, nurture, nest, show compassion, and love. When we speak of mother love, we talk about the purest and strongest of all affections. When we speak of mothers milk, we talk about the medium through which life itself is transferred. Women are special creatures with the ability (together with a husband and God) to create life within their wombs. Mothers are the source of life and sustenance, through breast-feeding and emotional caretaking. Through social bonding, women are the link between their men and family and society. Through their acceptance of a particular man, women are a powerful force in determining the social behavior of their men (if bad boys couldnt get a woman, they would give more thought to being good boys).

This naturally results in woman power. As adults, men come to women, in part, as a boy comes to his mother, generally not in any neurotic way but as the natural journey of a man. He lives for the same approval and appreciation and affection and attention he yearned for from his mother. And when he does get that from his woman, he is better able to conquer the world, and will be completely devoted to her.

When women get it and use it, their men, their marriages, their lives are transformed. And even in the midst of financial woes, illnesses, recalcitrant children, annoying neighbors, and a dog that wont be house-trained, both wife and husband are happy.

Woman Power is part standard book, part journal, part workbook, and all a positive way to take the basic concepts from The Proper Care and expand and reinforce those ideas to help you transform your life, and that of your family, into the spiritually sound and satisfying experience it could be.
