How to Train a Husband

In a commercial contract in which the richer half pays the poorer half for performance of "services of a personal nature" this is all fair. If the woman comes to the marriage with more money, the guy can be the dog. If the man is the breadwinner, she is the dog.

If love is what binds them? No need for the marriage. Love is stronger than a legal agreement.

But if there's no love? Then marriage -and its hierarchy and commercial codes of trade - , are well enforced by such a master-servant arrangement within the legal framework of the mariage code.

No offense taken to this article whatsoever. It's not about people in love (who would never need to train each other...) it's about married people who are married for financial reasons. These traning rules then, I assure you, are all fair. . Jennie, You go.

And she discovered behaviorism after 1 year of training animals which are much more primitive than a human being? I thought we have sort of moved on back in the 70s. You know, positive and negative reinforcement to a very limited extent. Was it Thorndike or some other big behaviorist that used this same kind of model on his children? Well, his children abandoned him when they grew up. I will have to agree withsome of the previous comments on this page. No relationship is the same, so unless you have a degree in psych, you should probably be following your heart

I think that the 3 that commented below me are all young. My husband was very nice and didn't bother me too much when we first started living together. We are now married and he bugs the crap out of me. Anything that he thinks will annoy me he will do. Being boyfriend and girlfriend is completely different than being husband and wife. You are not tied down to being boyfriend and girlfriend, so if you feel you do not want to be together anymore you up and leave. You have a few scars and you get over it, but when you're in a marriage it's so much different. If you don't want to be together any more you have to go through a lot of paper work and a lot more heartache especially if there are children involved. As boyfriend and girlfriend you seem to act differently with each other because it's still the "flirting" stage of the relationship no matter how long you have been dating. I have friends that have been dating for 10 years and still act like they've been dating for 2 as soon as they got married it went all down hill from there. Marriage takes a lot more work than a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship because marriage is ment to last forever. Wives have been training their husbands for centuries, but girlfriends don't train their boyfriends there is no need. Boyfriends mostly want to keep their girlfriends so they will do whatever they can to make them happy. Husbands want to keep their wives, but a lot more comes into play with a marriage. I wouldn't treat my husband like a dog persay, but when you pick up after him day in and day out and he doesn't do anything because he works and your job as the wife is to take care of the house a little training doesn't hurt.

Anyone who finds this article to be helpful clearly has no grasp on what marriage is all about. Why would you be married to someone that doesn't give equally to the relationship.Are there that many couples out there who are as stupid as this book suggests? Here's a free tip.. get to know the person you are marrying first. If they are as ignorant as the above article suggests, DON"T MARRY THEM. Are Americans really this stupid? nowadays?

U know as a woman I believe that men and women have their issues and men u have serious ones when it cones out that women have new ways or reformed ways of trying to get u guys to act civalized, and for u guys that have fugured out that showeing daley and chainging your undies yay for u! but guys u do have to admit that u do the same thing with us ladies. So suck it up and publish your own book though giving each other pointers on how to cheat and not get cought would probly piss us off signefictlnly enough to kick some balls in so good luck!

From a man: I couldn't agree more. Being bribed by salsa and crisps is fine by me. And yes, women of the world...."don't take it personally, laundry IS JUST laundry"

Carl's Jr. says "without us some guys would starve." I don't starve and I also don't eat at Carl's Jr. Any company that implies I a dumb man doesn't and will not get me business.

You know I'm so tired so stuff ike this. You meet a girl, fall in love. They demand you change, then after years of marrage or a realtionship they leave you, why? Because you're not the same person they fell in love with... Why not just accept the person your with for who they are and try to accept the things they do rather than change them or bend them to your expectations?

I think this runs along the same lines as Dr. Laura's "Proper care and feeding of husbands".

This is disgusting on many levels. This woman has no "training" of her own. Who is she to tell others what to do? Some people could end up divorced trying this crap. If you have to "train" someone, why are you with them in the first place? How about loving people for who they are???

I don't agree with treating your husband like a dog either; but the one thing you all are missing is in the world today men are seen sort of in this way. Men are the ways who get hurt and put down in media (movie etc.) and women are seen as sex objects, neither seem fiting to me, not every man is the same and not every women is a sex object. People need to be treated as the indivuals that they are.

Sad. I had a girlfriend who though she could "train" me. Dumped her the second I realized it. I am a strong man who works his a** off to sustain my life and my family. I will not be trained. I will not train a woman. I am independent, and I expect my mate to be independent too. What a load of cra* this is.

The truth of the matter is that she is copying the work of a man, B.F. Skinner. Like most feminists she has just re-invented or repackaged an existing idea and put a new tag on it. We don't need training or even coaching on behaviors at home. If you don't like a guy's behaviors, chances are tehy existed before the marriage. Pick a better mate. Ladies, the man you get is up to you.
