About this listen
Laura Doyle's marriage was in trouble, and couples counseling wasn't helping. On the brink of divorce, she decided to talk to women who'd been happily married for more than a decade, and their advice stunned her. Now an internationally recognized relationship expert, Doyle has shared her secrets with women around the globe, saving thousands of marriages with her fresh, revolutionary approach.
Practical and counterintuitive, the six intimacy skills are about focusing on your own desires and transforming your own life - not bending over backward to transform your husband. Incorporating these skills will empower you to: attract his attention like a magnet when you relax more and do less; receive affection not because you told him to make more of an effort, but because he naturally seeks you out; and feel more like yourself - and like yourself more.
If you've been trying to "fix" your relationship and it's not working, maybe the problem was never you, or your husband, or even the two of you as a couple. Maybe the problem is that nobody ever taught you the skills you need to foster respect, tenderness, and consideration.

Story
Fascinating Womanhood for the Timeless Woman holds the position that most cultures have lost the sense of ascendancy that comes from proper cultivation of femininity and masculinity in women and men, respectively. This book teaches that femininity inspires a noble masculinity in men and that it empowers and liberates women to pursue their greatest potential. It is not merely a book of personal or moral opinions. It’s based, in part, on modern science, over 50 years of teaching experience and feedback, and, most importantly, results.

You want your man to be strong, competent, and devoted to giving you what you need to feel happy, secure, and loved. Yet if you are like most women, you are doing things that ensure your man never steps up in the way you want. You may be enabling and even encouraging him to remain passive, self-interested, irresponsible, and undevoted. Many of your innocent, and even loving behaviors and words are pushing your man away and preventing him from being the man you need him to be. This book will put an end to that forever.

Story
Gary Thomas, pastor and best-selling author of Sacred Marriage, believes that one simple word can bring hope, light, and life into any marriage: Cherish. Most marriages survive by gritting teeth and holding on. But what if surviving marriage wasn't the goal? What if we aimed to thrive instead? In Cherish, Thomas teaches us that although there are a countless number of marriages consisting of two people just going through the motions, there are real ways this pattern can be reversed.

Very practical and helpful
I totally enjoyed this book. It's so practical and helpful without being overwhelming. Very interesting and enlightening take on how marriage counseling often fails because it generally works against developing intimacy skills.

Every woman should read this
had heard mixed reviews but I came here with an open mind. What I found were simple concepts for truly respecting your partner in the way that men need. I have spent most of my life thinking "if I could just get him to change this or understand that". Well all I have to say is stay humble and listen to the book. It really accidently showed me how MY actions have drawn a wedge in my relationship and brought conflict. I tried one of the concepts on my boyfriend yesterday and it WORKED JUST LIKE THE BOOK LAID OUT THAT IT WOULD. Within minutes. I cant wait to keep applying what I've learned...I have 100% confidence in my having a healthy relationship because of the principles written here. Thank you!

Terrible Life Advice...I'd burn it, if I had a physical copy.
Invalidating to the female experience....
This book teaches you how to gaslight yourself...
Makes women seem infantile...
Applicable to 1950s suppression of women's voices....it's just terrible.

Awful, childhood trauma memories ugh
Gave me ptsd listening to this from my childhood growing up and how my dad controlled my mom and used the exact words in the respect chapter, gives me cold shivers in a bad way listening to respect respect respect , women are not slaves for men and should not coddle them into being nice to us it works both ways and if you think this is the way to a happy marriage I don’t want it, I refuse to baby my husband into getting him to be what I want him to be and doing everything for him. Gave me mad anxiety 2 hrs left of the book I’m a DNF it’s too much slave not enough equal partners. Reader is a bit too chipper & pleasant and she seems fake reading this.
