The term "Old-Fashioned" comes to mind when reading this book. It has a very Christian and traditional way of looking at marriage. Which, wasn't offensive for me to read, since those are the views I share within my own marriage but I can see how this book isn't for everyone.
I've felt for a long time, that there was something odd about me. Maybe I'm a little too feminine? Maybe I'm a little strange for loving the fact that I married a soldier and respecting him so much for the dangerous job he loves doing? Reading this book made me feel comfortable and happy, reminding me I'm not the only woman in history to feel the desires of my heart.
Regardless, it was an interesting read, to see how differently men and women think and how they seem to perfectly compliment one another. I would even go as far as to recommend this book to men, to help them understand the women in their lives.
I believe what the author said about all women wanting to feel desired and loved. Little girls, including myself, play dress up in order to feel beautiful. I can't tell you how many times, during our most recent military ball, heard other women exclaim how gorgeous their friends looked in their dresses. Again, this book is a Christian based book, but I felt as though it helped me understand my inner-Emma a little better.
I feel it sad that some women try so hard to hide their desires... How could a man know to pursue a woman if she didn't explain that it was one of her deepest, most basic needs?
Society tells women that we don't "need" a man but does that mean it's not okay to want one?
