It's All in the Attitude

When I first heard about The Superior Wife Syndrome on The Today Show, I couldn't wait to buy it.

But not because I thought it could improve my marriage... I just wanted to rip it apart.

After all, the premise of the book (written right there on the front cover) is that women need to work at "dumbing themselves down," being less superior -- all to save their marriages. Well, that was my read of "Why Women Do Everything So Well and Why -- for the Sake of Our Marriages -- We've Got to Stop."

What? Crazy talk.

But then I got to thinking that my own marriage -- one that hasn't even met the 10-year mark -- is truly suffering. And if I brought my tear-this-book-to-shreads attitude to it, there was zero chance it could help.

So, although it goes counter to every ounce of my superior being, I'm going to give this a go. I'm going to listen to everything this author has to say with an open mind and an eager spirit.

Because frankly, we need help. And because I do everything else in my marriage, it's fitting that I be the one to take charge of healing it.
