The Surrendered Wives movement is inspired by a book, ''The Surrendered Wife'' by Laura Doyle. Its supporters suggest that women should relinquish what Doyle deems to be inappropriate control of their husbands and focus on their own happiness in order to bring romance and intimacy back to their relationship. == Philosophy == The author of the core book of this movement maintains that she does not advocate submissiveness or the surrendering of one's self; she proposes the surrendering of control over others. Indeed, in ''Things Will Get as Good as You Can Stand'' (subtitled ''When you learn that it is better to receive than to give– The Superwoman's Practical Guide to Getting as Much as She Gives''), Doyle says women turn away praise, validation, and even help to appear to be in control.〔 The author herself writes: The "Surrendered Wives" movement is centered on six basic principles: # a wife relinquishes control of her husband's life # she respects his decisions for his life # she practices good self-care (she does at least three things a day for her own enjoyment) # she practices expressing gratitude (thanking her husband for the things he does) # a surrendered wife is not afraid to show her vulnerability and take the feminine approach Continuing in an abusive, alcoholic, or adulterous relationship is not promoted or condoned. Having female support is cited by Laura Doyle as a critical component for success for the woman who chooses to surrender. To this end there are a number of trained coaches around the globe who assist women to implement the principles into their lives and marriages. Face to Face group seminars, phone coaching, on-line chat circles and an on-line seminar are available. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surrendered wife」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
