The Perfect Gift For Her

I often hear from wives who have stumbled upon my book or website quite by accident. At first they are shocked by what they find: "A wife led marriage, whoever heard of that?!" Then amused: "You must be kidding!" But very often they make that final step and realize how their own marriage could be improved by it.

Occasionally, I will hear from wives who have been directed by a girlfriend. The friend recognizes the challenges the wife is facing and offers a solution. Shock. Amusement. And, perhaps, realization. Even better, the two now share a secret bond of experience, both heading their households.

And then there are the husbands who discover this and share it with their wives. She might ask, "are you sure you want this?" He does. He's probably struggled with this desire for years and only finally managed to work up the courage to suggest it.

But not all introductions are so open. Since the early days I regularly have received emails asking me to invite a wife to my website. Typically these were from husbands, but not all. Some of these requests were more in the nature of practical jokes.

Imagine. You know a male friend who is feeling henpecked. His wife is a nag. She wants to run the marriage but doesn't know how. They are both miserable. You think to yourself, "she needs Real Women Don't Do Housework."

That's when the fun really begins.
