I feel the same way about this book I feel about _Fascinating Womanhood_ and _The Surendered Wife_

They're great if they work for you, but as soon as they start to be touted as "the way all women should act" I get up in arms.

I haven't read it, but I just went and read a review of it. It sounded a little Stepford Wife-ish to me, although that could have just been the reviewer's take. But I do agree with perverseangelic, if it works for you, great! I'd be interested to see an alternative view of it.

It was not a bad book, but not a great one either imo.

Marabel Morgan wrote this book (if I rememer correctly) somewhere in the early 60's--it was designed to bring back the June Cleaver aspect to marriages---she was also a teacher and lecturer during that time--however, not long after that, "bad girls" burned their bras and fought for rights--(note I left out the word equal--I won't even go there)--

She remained as a fad for about 3 years max I'd say and fell into the abyss of passing fads--

Now I do not knock her ideas as I try to keep an open mind, but she did have some "Stepford" like thoughts in there---but the core theme was total submission and commitment to "your man and family". I think she may have been Topping from the bottom(?)
