I have read a lot of books about relationships,marriage and how-to...This one is by far the BEST BOOK of it's kind for many reasons. It is easy to read and gives suggestions and formulas that can be applied. Not some voodoo magic or metaphysical techinques about tantra_yoga.the mostimportant is that men -for some mysterious reason-embrace it faster than women. I read different postings,where women in surprise introduced by husbands. With me the case was a bit different but also similar. I am proud of my husband, he is succesful and caring man but he seems unemotional and remote.He is confident and masculine and very much in charge. He is educated, cultured, world-traveled, he has his own succesful firm and manages personnel of 20 people. I met him while I was studing in Germany. He is German and I am Greek and culturally the two peoples have certain differences, Greeks are more wordy,loud and expressive, Germans are more introverted and often can be misunderstood as cold something that is completely false. After two years the marriage was good but also boring. I also noticed that at nights he was spending a lot of time in front of his computer. It had crossed my mind that he was chatting or searching for someone but I let it go. But one day in shock I discovered that he had in a file supposedly for...organic food sites and pics all related to female domination. The world turned around for me. I confronted him and he never been so embarassed but he admited that he had certain fantasies with the woman in charge.I became less infuriated when he completed his sentence that this woman he was fantasizing about, was me. The case dropped temporarily until I visited some relatives in NY and a friend's friend friend gave me this book"how a bride should train her husband" She had been introduced by her husband. I gave it a thought and when I came back home I reluctantly I applied a few simple techniques. He immediately responded. Today I do not believe the theory of the cold,tradtional, reserved, macho or too-busy husband, but the reality of unfulifiled men. And they are unfulfilled often because the wives fail to understand what men need. The same way as women often feel attracted to "bad boys" many men (much more than we think)feel excited with wives who are in charge. If you read the book you will understand why. I recommend it to every woman on earth. PLEASE MAKE THIS GIFT TO YOURSELF AND to YOUR SPOUSE OR PARTNER. My husband still is the king of his business, still he is footoball fan and still is the same person. With one difference. Having me in charge at home he is many many many times more loving and caring and affectionate. He does lots of things for me. I love him and he adores me as never before.I have spread the word around to women in my family and friends. Women,in Europe are confident and openminded but for a peculiar reason are very reluctant to wife in charge household and I have no idea why.If they try, somehow they touch some very deep male-chorde and need. Men for some unexplained reason like the woman in charge, as long as she is reasonable and she is loving. This book gets 7-STARS and I suggest women and men to read it and give it a try. Human psyche and mind work in a very peculiar ways. This book discusses exactly this peculiar reality instead preaching academic theories or biblical rhetorics of how couples should live their lives. Do not just read it, study it and give it a try.

My boyfriend gave me the book "how to train your husband".

We were together for over two years and I was wondering why

he does not ask the question.From time to time he was throwing certain hints that initially I did not pay attention to,but gradually I realized that the clues although seemed fun and jokes were important to him.He was trying to tell me something.If you see him he is not macho but the typical male with background in the military. To place it differently he was acting strange. When he handed the book to me, I felt turned off because I realized that it was some kind of Female domination. To make the long story short, finally I read the book although I had distanced myself from him and I was considering the possibility of breaking up. I come from a culture with very defined gender roles comparing to American society.

I talked to an American male friend and his wife about this.This was two years ago. Now I am married to this guy.

I still cannot understand why but it seems that a woman in charge makes men excited even if they do not admit it openly. There is some hidden need to be dominated and this phenomenon increases around.I would like to say that if women try it, they will have much more meaningful relationship with their male partner. Usually men are romantic before marriage. With my husband happens the reverse. We do not argue often and believe it or not he voluntarily does most of the house chores although he works long hours. I see other couples around us, gradually falling apart and we have a very strong relationship.

I still feel a bit weird being in charge but I see that it works this way.The book and my friend-couple were an eye-opening experience to me.I suggest it to everybody.It is one of the greatest books I ever read, simple and for some reason works. And a suggestion to women.When a man needs to submit is not a turn-off. It is a peculiar long supressed male-need.Males are suppressed as women in a different way.

This book demistifies this need in simple words.

I ordered the book mostly out of curiosity.I have mixed feelings about leting my wife (I am not married yet)to run the household. But certainly I would buy her this book and I would consider giving a try to some of it's doctrines. It is very interesting you will not put it down until you reached the last page. And if you are pretty open to its ideas there is no question that the readers women, men or couples can explore some very exciting possibilities. This book is a soft landing to loving Female-led relationships. As I mentioned, although I am a skeptic and an old-school male I fully recommend it not only to brides but to everyone.Couples, women, men, married or single.

This book has now become my standard wedding shower gift. The Around Her Finger book has had such a phenomenal impact on my own marriage, that I'm grateful to be able to share the same ideas with new brides. It has become my standard wedding shower gift. The book is a lot of fun, but it is so much more than that. Any woman and her husband will benefit from reading this book and following through on its suggestions.
