Needless to say, I was so not interested in reading it! However, after reading the book - after many moments of "I'm not like that", I applied the principles the author suggested and slowly, over time, amazing results were seen. The book is not about being a subserviant wife, but a submissive wife, which basically means that you get along better with your husband, not walk two paces behind him. The principles can easily be applied to other interpersonal relationships also with maximum benefits, I believe. The author basically encourages the reader to think less about themselves and more about caring for thier significant other. Definately worth the read! (  ) kimfdim | Sep 24, 2008 |  I was very interested when I heard about this book as I enjoy reading about women and their roles, particularly from a non-feminist viewpoint. I read about half of this book before deciding to stop. Although some of the principles are (IMO) good, I just couldn't get my head around some of the ideas, for example, if someone were to answer my queries with 'Whatever you think,' as the author suggests, I would soon be extremely miffed and convinced that my partner was not remotely interested in me or our partnership. That's the thing - I think marriage is a partnership and that really didn't come across in this book. notjustlaura | Mar 11, 2008 | I heard about the book and had to find out what it was really about. I was suprised that it was not so much about being a female doormat as about not being a nagging pecking hen of a wife. The irony is that most nagging controlling pecking hens (I'm thinking of a few of my own relatives here) wouldn't recognize themselves and thus wouldn't back off of their husbands. I don't agree with everything the author says, but I was relieved that it wasn't suggesting that women turn their brains off and blindly do whatever their spouses say or want, no matter what. (  ) honeysmudge | Oct 7, 2007 | This turned out to be a completely different book from what I had expected from the media fuss. Most chapters are actually good, common-sense advice such as you might find in any self-help manual. There is more encouragement to women to stand up for themeselves than to submit to their husbands: take care of yourself first, express your desires, foster friendships with women, don't try to read your husband's mind, set boundaries. Unfortunately, the chapters that do deal with submission portray it as a manipulative, passive-aggressive way of getting what you want. The famous example that was pilloried in the media about not telling your husband if he takes the wrong turning does not actually appear in the book in anything like the form reported.

|
According to Doyle, the wife who chooses to surrender must learn to take care of herself first, overcome the desire to have more power, and abandon the myth of equality. Delving into the personal tales and sisterly advice shared within each chapter's pages, surrendering wives will further note the need to master unsavory phrases like "I can't," and "Whatever you think"--tough to swallow for a generation of women who value their own opinions. While she fully acknowledges that a few bills will go unpaid and a few deadlines or freeway exits will occasionally be missed, she also insists that surrendered wives will encounter less worry and fear, more money, and better sex. Hey, "Whatever you think...." --Liane Thomas
