lynn Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) opinions. just curious. I guess I am not the only one out of the loop on this. I was wondering if others have read it. I just recently heard of this and thought I'd look into it more. sounded interesting at first but after hearing more about it, not sure it is for me. That is all. http://www.kathilipp.com/category/thp/ Edited February 10, 2012 by lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Does this include training on how to put clothes IN the hamper and not on top of it? If so, I might be able support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Amazon. I've never read it by the way. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 hmmm. honestly, it makes me uncomfortable. I've seen stuff like this before and it seems to me like they're putting a lot of responsibility on the wife. Like it's her job to "make it work." Maybe I'm misreading it though.

Sounds like a stressful, guilt-ridden, wife-is-responsible-for-her-dh's-happiness way to make your marriage stronger. :glare: I hate books like that. They make sure to point out all of your inadequacies (you know, in a helpful and supportive way. :glare:) Sorry people, but I already love my husband; I don't need a book to tell me how to do it "on purpose" :confused: And the "guilt of not being enough?" Give me a break! Let's start a Husband Project Support Group, and then we can feel like bad wives who don't really want more joy in our marriages, because we keep forgetting to attend the meetings... ;) Edited February 10, 2012 by Catwoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous type books that are very likely to cause more pain than good. That's my personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 come now... tell us what you really think. ;) :D :D :D :D Sue me. I'm having one of those days. ;):D I think we need to start a Wife Project. It's the one where the husband has to wait on us hand and foot, 24/7/365. And if he doesn't do it, he has to feel really guilty and buy us a lot of extra presents. And chocolate. And fancy coffee drinks. Every. Single. Day. I'm telling you, this could really take off. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirch Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've read it (I have it). It's ok, nothing earth-shattering. I didn't get any guil-tripping vibes or "be a better wife so you can change your husband" from it. It's pretty much just suggestions, ideas for what to do if you want to bless your husband and increase intimacy and joy in your marriage. Obviously it's not for everyone, and there's not really anything in it I hadn't heard/read somewhere else, but I don't think there's any harm in it.
