How to Train a Husband

You speak of equality yet you're compareing human males to a house pet. I find this absolutely degradeing in all sense, in a relationship it's not just the effort of one person it's a combination from the two. Also, you should be aware of what your getting yourself into before you have a serious relationship. If you feel the need to be dominate, seek somebody who prefers to be controlled. Everybody is different and depending on that person, they have different views and desires in a relationship.
This 'book' is disgusting to think about, this is giving people the wrong outlook on relationships and it's a prime example of so many failed marriages in the recent years.
Like I said before, we need to move away from this path and realize it's a joint effort, not a one man or one woman show.

This is not a new concept. Hollywood made an entire movie using the same techniques Amy Suthreland claims to have come up with. I don't remember the name of the movie but it's a Boddy Darin and Sandra Dee film. The premise of the movie is that she trains her new husband with the aid of a book called, How to Train Your Puppy only to discover that he hasn't changed a bit, she's the one that's been in training. It's a cute movie. Amy Sutherland might just discover the Hollywood beat her to the punch. Cheryl Larive Dearborn, Michigan

If you were very intelligent gusto you would learn what it takes to be a true woman. Waste your time in the kitchen? Don't put down woman who enjoy cooking for their men. You are a lazy woman who does what she wants as she pleases. Holy crap, what a turnoff! You are very sexual, that is about the only thing good here.

OK, just another topic to argue about. The "battle" will never end -- it's quite simple, men want sex and women want men (not a child-man), so yes, women should give in and get it done in the bedroom and men should be men...the real grown up kind, the ones who think about their mate and how to please her just like she's pleasing him. However, I don't want to "train" my man like an animal, but I also do not want him to behave like an animal by leaving a bloody mess everywhere or only being attentive when he's getting some. Communication works wonders and so does sex. Believe this!!!

If men could go down on themselves like the dogs we apparently are, there would be no need for women. You'd have a bounty on your heads. Consider yourselves lucky and be careful what you wish for.

the people who feel they have to "train their mate" have not found their true "soul mate"

Guys are the most visual creatures. You want to always look good if you can when you are out with him. Not sure about the training part. After our baby was 3, I got implants and that helped both me and him as my breasts had begun sagging ALOT FinestImplants.com made a real difference, and I can tell he loves me even more. Not trying to be shallow but they really worked wonders.

Trust me a good ass pounding will set any women straight. Once a month usually does the trick. It keeps the sex life rockin.

Do other women really care about clothing on the floor? I don't. Why is the floor not a perfectly reasonable place for a sock until he wants to put it in the washer?

I'm way too busy to do other people's laundry. Maybe these women just have too much time to worry and not enough real challenges to work on?

Reading the woes from all the commentors made me realize there are some twisted views of marriage. My wife and I are retired military. After seeing the world and experiencing many heart breaks, seeing how others survive this thing we call life...you guys haven't a clue on how good you got it. Love is unconditional. Love or love not, life's too short to get wrapped around the axle. Love the one you're with

I don't mind being a dog. As long as I get scratched once and a while.

As a man, I am so tired of hearing comments like the one below from ct0214 "Until men can go through the pains that comes with giving birth to children...". I have had many female friends throughout my life, and I can say that most of them do not feel that way. Chilbirth is a privledge. Caring for and nuturing another life growing inside of you is God's greatest gift. For someone to make such a comment shows how self-centered and ignorant that person truly is. If anyone should be quite, it should be someone who is so un-appreciative of such a miracle. As for everyone complaining about this technique, why is everybody so shocked? Male or female, does it matter? We are all human, and we ALL respond better to positive reinforcment. When you do a good job at work and get a big fat raise for it, doesn't that work much better than being chided for doing a poor job? Isn't this how we are taught to raise our children? You praise thier good behavior, and ignore the bad. When a child throws a temper tantrum what happens? The more you try to calm them down, the worse the tantrum gets. They learn that they get attention by acting this way. If you ignore the tantrum, eventually they learn that they do NOT recieve any benefit from it, and the behavior goes away. Why is everyone so shocked by this article? This iis basic psychology...not something new.

Chicks apparently you didn't read the title where it says the word "train" or how it tells you that men "need" to be trained like you train an animal. I agree with your points on neither side should be controlling but this article is telling "frustrated" women how to train thier husband.
