Was this book meant to be a joke?
If it was, I could say that it succeeded in the goal.
On a serious note. If you love and respect your wife I would recommend that you do NOT apply the lessons taught in this book.
When I read the Bible it says that humans are all equal to God?
Yes, I agree woman & men are wired differently, yet so are every single human being.
We have multiple lines of development and multiple intelligences...

To simplify this to the points made in p8 to p14 is a sad reflection on the writers "experience" as a counsellor?
Some of the problems I have with this book...
• Woman are created to be dependant - where does the Bible say that?
o Has he considered that every person has a unique personality?
o What about the effect of culture and family on the development of girls and their perception of themselves and their role in life, family, and society?
o The expectation of the world outside of our culture and family?
o Equally he has taken away the right of men to feel wanted and secure in a relationship.
• Men are pictured as hard cases with no need for feeling and security. Really now... (p11) "... He wanted to enjoy the monthly payments..." of his new house. In no way can he enjoy anything else a new house has to offer???
• (p9) "Much of their identity comes from where they work..." In this simple statement he has removed everything that's involved in forming our sense of self and belonging in this world. When we loose our job? What happens then? Or change our jobs? Will our identity so easily be changed and chopped?
• And it is here that I will stop...
This book is fraught with a single person's boxed-in perceptions of people and the world.
