The Alpha Female's Guide to Men and Marriage

More about the book

As seen on Fox & Friends, this guide offers insights for women with dominating personalities on how to love a man. The alpha female is the modern woman—assertive and in control, achieving success in the marketplace. However, when she becomes an alpha wife, she takes charge of everything, which can lead to relationship issues, as no man wants a boss for a partner. Since 1970, as women have gained power outside the home, the divorce rate has quadrupled, with 70% of divorces initiated by wives. This raises the question: do men make lousy husbands? According to Suzanne Venker, bestselling author of The War on Men, the issue lies in women not knowing how to be wives, as they weren't raised for that role. Yet, women can learn the art of loving a man. Venker, an alpha female herself, shares her journey of trial and error in marriage, revealing that skills for career success can inadvertently harm a relationship. Men dislike being told what to do, and women lose respect for those who do. This guide equips alpha females with tools to transform competitive marriages into complementary partnerships. Part memoir, part advice, it argues that while marriage poses challenges for the alpha female, finding peace is possible and perhaps easier than expected.
