About this listen
The underlying principle of The Surrendered Wife is simple: The control women wield at work and with children must be left at the front door of any marriage. Laura Doyle's matrimony shows women how they can both express their needs and have them met while also respecting their husband's choices. When they do, they revitalize intimacy. The Surrendered Wife will show you how to transform a lonely marriage into a passionate union.

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.

Story
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
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other,” the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

Everything that the book suggests is to make him fall deeper in love with you - meaning, a man who already likes or loves you. But you want that deep, long-lasting connection that helps relationships last 10 or 20 years. According to research and actual couples I've coached or known personally, it helps get them through times that break most relationships.

Story
Men who want to live with more power, groundedness, and clarity. Men who want to inspire more trust, lust, and devotion from their partner. But this is confusing territory. The modern world tells you that Masculine energy is toxic. And that we’re all the same. That you need to be a Nice Guy that plays it safe. For most men, it is not at all clear HOW to live more from their Masculine core.

Not awful, but there are better books on the topic
There are some useful suggestions in this book, but I was put off by the number of instances in which the reader is encouraged to just “pretend”, “keep secret” or “act like you feel 'X', even if you don’t really feel "X”. The suggestion that our marriages (and our hearts) benefit from increased dishonesty and deceitfulness, didn’t sit well with me. Lying doesn't produce true intimacy. Also, the whole "wives shouldn't handle household finances" thing felt a little over-emphasized and narrow-visioned. There are better books on the topic that do a great job helping us to grow in emotional maturity, and to live our femininity in an honest, gentle, and beautiful way. (Some suggestions: "Fascinating Womanhood For the Timeless Woman" by Dixie Andelin Forsyth, and "Intimate Communion" by David Deida).

Take with a grain of salt
Although some parts have great pieces, like if you give control, give all of it, other portions of the book are absolutely inane. Verbal abuse is a thing, and can be as damaging as a slap in the face. Financial infeidelty and infidelity break the same thing - trust. None of this is addressed, instead it is glossed over or the listener is encouraged to ignore it.
