Marriage Shock: The Transformation of Women into Wives

Relationship expert Dalma Heyn asks not what is good for marriage but what is good for women in marriage - a question, she finds, that promises a much different answer and more fulfilling lives. Marriage, as we are told, makes a woman complete, more womanly. Why, then, do so many brides discover that the fun-loving, passionate single gal they used to be has been transformed into a woman recognizable only as a wife - a woman who unconsciously represses her own needs, wants, and vitality - for the sake of the marriage? Attacking the pervasive cultural myths that ask a wife to choose between her marriage and her own growth and self-expansion, Marriage Shock explores the ways in which wives can overcome deeply ingrained social and personal expectations and flourish both as wives and as individuals. This ebook features a new introduction by Dalma Heyn and an illustrated biography including rare photos from the author's personal collection. |||This book is sold in the US by Sony Electronics Inc. |||This book is sold in Canada by Sony Electronics Inc.
