My mother in law gave me this book because she thought the title looked nice! I was in shock once I started paging throught it. I am a Christian woman in my 30's, raised in Christian home and I couldn't believe that this book was written in my lifetime. I found it downright disturbing. It is this type of legalistic thinking that drives women insane (quite literally sometimes!) To be so controlled by even a loving husband is unthinkable to me, but what if your husband is a BAD guy! God loves us and wants us to abide by HIS will. Want to know what to do? Get down on your knees and pray, open the bible and search, and yes, discuss things with your husband, trusted friends and family members.
