Just coincidentally, three of the books I've read recently have the word "wife" in the title:
The Pilot's Wife,
Ahab's Wife, and
The Time Traveler's Wife. I liked them all, but I absolutely loved
The Time Traveler's Wife. I read
The Pilot's Wife on the airplane, which was probably not the best idea since it's about a plane going down, but I'm not superstitious.
Since it seems like a good trend, I thought I'd see what else is out there with "wife" in the title. I did a search on Amazon. First up:
Be a Great Wife by Honoring Your Husband: A list by an Evangelical Christian Wife. She recommends such stellar books as
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura (shudder), and
Finding the Hero in your Husband: Surrendering the Way God Intended.
Here is the Evangelical Christian Wife's review of the Dr. Laura book: "
I imagine that if a wife was a feminist or not ready to make sacrifices for her husband then giving her this book would not help." Oh no, not a
feminist! The horror! The Evangelical Christian Wife does have a caveat that "
Though Dr Laura is Jewish, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands makes many the same points as conservative Christian marriage books such as Liberated Through Submission, Finding the Hero in Your Husband, Joy of a Promise Kept, His Needs, Her Needs and the secular book The Surrendered Wife".
I don't know, maybe I should stop while I'm ahead.
