If you won't believe what the Bible says about women and male/female relationships, try listening to what a non-Christian woman has to say. http://www.amazon.com/Surrendered-Wife-Practical-Finding-Intimacy/dp/07432044...
Read the reviews for this book. You will find many women who bash it, but I haven't found any reviewers who said that they honestly applied the principles of "The Surrendered Wife" and were worse off. Even though the author is not a Christian, most of what you will find in this book agrees with the Bible on male\female relationships.
