Tame Your Woman: Be the Man She Needs You to Be [Paperback]

Carl E Stevens Jr. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 5, 2010

How do you have a relationship with a woman who pees standing up? That was the question Carl had to ask himself after marrying fiery, young Kenya, whose need for dominance and control overshadowed not only his needs, but her abilities. There were a lot of broken lamps in the early years of their relationship. However, there were moments when things teetered on the edge of getting a lot uglier than a broken lamp, too. Thankfully, a radical change in attitude saved their marriage. They became strong enough to thrive through big challenges: parenthood, losing their home to fire, and Kenya's near-fatal illness. Carl, who now co-leads relationship workshops with Kenya, shares the lessons learned not only of his own struggle to be in a relationship of equals, but of his and Kenya's deep study of the subject. In this book readers will learn: --Why "a boy cannot become a man until he has healed a woman." --How to determine what a woman really wants, and how to give it to her without losing your self-respect or her respect for you. --Why your position on the "Monk Scale" makes all the difference to your success as a husband and father. --How to keep your own vices from getting in the way of your relationship

5.0 out of 5 stars THANK YOU!!!! November 10, 2010

First of all, I didn't read this book (lol). But, we both have "Change Your Man" for me and "Tame Your Woman" for him. We agreed to not read the opposite book because it might make us attempt to interpret the words for the one that should be reading it. So instead of interpreting the author's words, we would be interpreting our partners words through a filter and thats not good. My partner is only into chapter 4 and already I am noticing subtle differences in his attitude. He is such a great guy and our relationship could only get better but this almost made me cry when he said this to me. So as always I was asking if it was ok for me to do something for him (Kenya its a process that I am working to remedy myself of) and he said..."No thats ok baby. I got it. I have to take on more responsibility."

OMG!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! We agreed to do all the excercises and have a book review at the end. Thank You So much! I know you normally review a book after you've read it but that response was HUGE for us! And my response, as Kenya taught in her book, "OK, honey." (lol) Thank You!

I know this man...This book is revolutionary with its relationship and metaphysical content. This book is meant to be explored by young men, who would benefit from this material the most. It has opened my minds eye to identify what true masculinity, leadership, and real balls look like! Ladies, this is a must read for you as well! Don't get caught up in it's catchy title, it's about taming the man's inner "woman", which therefore tames the relationship...Very eloquent & fluidly written.

I am a female and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I passed it along to my male friends and suggested it to some of my male family members. It is a must read, especially for men who are trying to walk in their manhood and contribute life and love to their relationship.
