What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage


Book Description

While observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.




Husbands, Wives, and Lovers


Book Description

In this interdisciplinary exploration of the cultural and social history of early 19th-century France, Patricia Mainardi focuses on what was considered a major social problem of the time - adultery. In a period when expectations about marriage were changing, the problems of husbands, wives and lovers became a major theme in theatre, literature and the visual arts. The author demonstrates that this intense interest was historically grounded in the post-revolutionary collision between the new concept of the individual's right to happiness and the traditional prerogatives of family and state. duty or happiness more important? Are arranged marriages doomed to be empty of love and poisoned by adultery? Should adulterous wives and their lovers be punished while husbands may commit adultery with impunity? Out of such legal, social and cultural debates ultimately emerged modern bourgeois family values, Mainardi argues. And she illuminates how art, in all its varieties, both influences and is influenced by social change.

HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES


Book Description

In an era where marriages face challenges from all sides, "HUSBANDS LOVE Your WIVES: How Should Husbands Treat Their Wives?" offers a Scriptural roadmap for men striving to emulate the love and leadership demonstrated by Christ. As the Apostle Paul has outlined, the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church. This headship is not one of tyranny or arbitrary rule but one characterized by love, respect, and spiritual guidance. In this comprehensive guide, each chapter focuses on a distinct principle or practice crucial for husbands to internalize. The book begins by laying the foundation with "The Head of a Woman Is the Man," where the Biblical view of a husband’s role is carefully examined. Following chapters delve into gaining deep respect from one's spouse, the two keys to a lasting marriage, and how to build a strong and happy marital relationship.

Children are not left out of the equation. With a chapter dedicated to training your child from infancy, the book provides essential tools to help instill a love for God and His Word from a young age.

With a view that a loving husband cultivates a wife who is "Dearly Loved," the book offers not just theoretical knowledge but practical steps in showing self-sacrificing love, maintaining peace in the household, and doing one’s part to promote a happy family life.
