Publisher's Summary

Like millions of women, Laura Doyle wanted her marriage to be better. But when she tried to get her husband to be more romantic, helpful, and ambitious, he withdrew - and she was lonely and exhausted from controlling everything. Desperate to be in love with her man again, she decided to stop telling him what to do and how to do it. When Doyle surrendered control, something magical happened. The union she had always dreamed of appeared. The man who had wooed her was back.

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.

Love this book. Well worth the download.

Extremely important information and spoken by the author was so much better.
Treasured so much, helped me get through a depression stage with regards to myself and my marriage.

Not bad.

The ideas behind the book are good but I would have liked it to be more compelling. It needed more depth.

good but abridged

Great book- but feel a bit ripped off that it is only the abridged version

excellent book, life changer, marriage saver

Laura Doyle found a way to help women save and improve their marriages without the pressure of involving the husband. it's doable and results come sooner than expected...the success rate of this method is astounding!!! there's no better way...

This book is awful.

Ladies, NEVER surrender your financial security. Never prioritise your partner's wellbeing over your own. I am in a happy, loving partnership where we are both respected equally, you deserve this too. This book is an out dated load of garbage.
