For Women Only

My mom stuck a book in my bag entitled, "For Women Only--What you need to know about the inner lives of men," by Shaunti Feldhahn. Although it is focused on married women, it solidified a few things in my mind as as a single woman. One example: I've always known I wouldn't want to marry a man I didn't respect, but now it's clear: If I get married I had better have LOADS of respect for my man. If being respected is so fundamental to his needs, it will be an uphill battle for me if I don't bein with an abudance of it.

An interesting read! I would recommend a look at it to any woman, especially if you're married. Shaunti claims it is for women only because "the other half of the people on the planet already know what you're going to read in this book." Apparently the men who have read the book are incredibly grateful she wrote it.

The end of the book had an excerpt from her previous book, The Lights of Tenth Street. I want to read it. An eye-opener to issues on which I am far too innocent. Check out http://www.4-womenonly.com. You can check out her other books (For Younger Women Only--What a great resource for teens!!! I want to read it, too!), read "ask Eric" entries, and more.
