This review is from: Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives; What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women (Hardcover)

The title says this book contain "straight talk," and it does. Dobson is right on the money in his description of our relationships in our marriage and our family of origin. This book helped to save my marriage. There are many aspects of this book that I believe are timeless. In every age we each must struggle to discover a path of selflessness rather than selfishness in order to develop the positive relationships we crave.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is Christianity alive today?, July 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives; What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women (Hardcover)

This book might have been published in 1978, however it makes many points that apply in today's world as well. This book outlines a man's responsibilities to his family and his God. In doing so, it also descibes how a woman(wife and mother) fits into the picture of marriage. Non-Christians will most likely find Dr. Dobson's view to be sexist and outdated. However, if the book is read entirely and seen from a Christian point of view, it is nothing of the sort. I hope you will find the book enlightening and helpful in your Christian lives.

This review is from: Straight Talk to Men and Their Wives; What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women (Hardcover)

In this book, Dr. Dobson talks to men and women about relationships in their marriages, their children, work, money,
housepets, and God. This book was right on when he talks about how important it is for men and women to work on their
marriages, not become workaholics so that we don't deprive our spouses and kids of ourselves. I loved some of the humor in
the book, like when someone suggested that he write a book on strong-willed wives (which I'm sure my husband would love), and
he said that he wouldn't touch that one with a shovel. It was also very clear that Dr. Dobson loved his father very much and
was a major influence in his life. I loved that stories about Dr. Dobson's dad's dog and Dr. Dobson coming to know the Lord
towards the end of his life.

Many people accuse Dr. Dobson of being sexist and racist, but I don't see that at all in his book. Dr. Dobson is a very big
champion of marriage and keeping the family together. We need more people like him, so that we don't have as many broken
people in this society.
