A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'I can highly recommend this book to anyone dissatisfied with the lack of support they receive from their husband. My whole attitude of giving and receiving within marriage has changed. After only a few weeks, I've already begun to see really positive results' - Reader, NOW MAGAZINE
'I really wanted to see what she had to say and couldn't put it down. There is no sell out on women's self esteem... It is a powerful argument written... Fascinating reading for anyone whose relationship lacks intimacy and trust' CONNECT MAGAZINE
'There are some sections and chapters which are startlingly revealing for anybody in a long-term relationship. Hidden mirrors placed around the pages which catch you out and make you look and see and think differently about how you are behaving and the effect of this on the people you love most in the world... [In our relationship] there is much greater closeness and intimacy once more. There is more tenderness too and vulnerability, which we feel able to reveal to each other again....As Fay Weldon says of the book, ''Forget the rights and wrongs - it works. It's a miracle!'' ' Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, INDEPENDENT
'One of the most insightful and challenging self-help manuals in years ... For a male reader, what's so striking is that Laura Doyle has hit on a profound and simple truism. Many men love to be masculine and women should let us' IQ MAGAZINE
'Riveting reading' SUNDAY INDEPENDENT

Présentation de l'éditeur

At 30, Laura Doyle, like millions of women, was miserable in her marriage, but she couldn't put her finger on the cause. 'I was lonely and I was exhausted from trying to do everything myself. When I learned to stop controlling and criticising my husband and practised receiving graciously, something magical happened. The union I had always dreamed of appeared. The man who had wooed me was back,' writes Doyle. In THE SURRENDERED WIFE, Laura Doyle presents a radical and controversial approach to relationships: women can enjoy great sex, harmony and the intimacy they crave when they stop controlling their partner. Surrendering, she says, is the simplest principle for a great marriage and thousands of women swear by it. Covering both the emotional and practical aspects of marriage, it teaches women valuable lessons including how to respect the man they married, how to resist the temptation to bicker and how to trust their man. But most importantly, it shows how you can fall in love with your man all over again. With marriages and relationships fast becoming the first casualty of modern life, THE SURRENDERED WIFE could be the key to 'happy ever after'.
