Translation: The patriarchy is a blessing, women, so don't even try to do anything independently. The only way that you will find power and satisfaction is by living out your dreams through a paragom of patriarchal power. And we all know that your dreams are just to be LOVED and ADORED, rather than to actually DO anything, so just obey your husband and don't worry your pretty little head about anything else. Then your life will be peachy.

Shame on the author for writing this book. That indicates that she thought for herself and did something on her own initiative. That's a waste of precious energy that could otherwise be spent kowtowing to her abusive crazy power-hungry visionary husband. Back to the kitchen with you, author!

Disgusting. Even my parents' church doesn't go so far :-p They get pretty close, though . . .

What if you're just married to a loser?

I think reviews said that she actually counsels women against leaving abusive husbands...

You should see the husband's book on child rearing!

I love how we can basically nail God in three categories: Dominant, Visionary, and Steady (?). It's like the four Platonic virtues... only with, you know, God. And only three of them.
