    the entire article is a book (yes "book") plug.

    It'll sell millions like most US self-help tulipe. Even more now they have a loon in charge.

    My other half does that but also reserves the right to tell me otherwise and I must comply without question or argument

    It's very simple, it's about respecting your partner. Respecting their choices, opinions and actions.

    That's it really.

    Really when you read the article it is not about surrendering it is about treating your husband as an equal.

    Its just not even a thing.

    what respect your wife's opinion, thank her and not try to control her? hmmm.

    Regularly remind Mrs V she is pushing the boundaries, some tears and then back to normal. She makes the same complaints of me, I man up & change. Why should men or women take disrespect?

    you haven't yet?

    The Surrendered Wife, which tells women to stop nagging their partners and start treating them with more respect.

    The six principles of being a 'Surrendered Wife'
    Relinquishes inappropriate control of her husband
    Respects her husband's thinking
    Receives his gifts graciously and expresses gratitude for him
    Expresses what she wants without trying to control him
    Relies on him to handle household finances
    Focuses on her own self-care and fulfilment

    so treats the husband as a valued equal. Apart from the household finance bit seems fine to me if you replaced husband & gender specific words with spouse it would be pretty much what the vicar said to us before we got married.

    Not surrender, more stepping up to the plate.

    I suspect that many women would rather not save the marriage if the price is subservience.

    If tings were the other way around, I bloody wouldn't.
