The only book that I have ever found that suggested female submission without making me feel ill was 'Getting to "I Do"' by Pat Allen and Sandra Harmon. What made this book different for me was the authors' far more fexible attitude, they didn't suggest that this was the only way a marriage could be, or that there wasn't room for negotiation and flexibility between the partners. Most of all though, what makes it different is the emphasis on the woman getting what she wants out of the relationship, as a naturally self-centred person I found this appealed to me.

There is very little non religious support of this type of relationship. It is much like the homeschooling community in that regard. =) You can't throw a brick on amazon without hitting one of these books. Even if this is true and any of these books actually describes a Taken In Hand relationship, I |
