The Man For Her

Description

EPUB is edited version with EPUB table of contents.

Preface says this is targeted for husbands.

Fr. Kinsella was a priest and counselor of hundreds of marriages; ref:1.174: "As a marriage counselor I have no recollection of a single unhappy failure as a husband who was the recipient of inspiration from his wife."

female-female friendships: ref:1.433:

Unconsciously a woman regards every other woman as a rival. For this reason a beautiful and vivacious woman has few if any women friends. Indeed, few real friendships exist between women.

ref:1.440 (cf. St. Alphonsus Glories of Mary story on a jealous/envious wife's husband's devotion to Our B.V.M.):

“Competition is good for the soul,” I remember a most gracious and accomplished lady saying as she found she had a rival. It is not good for us to become too sure of even getting to Heaven.

ref:1.571:

God Himself placed woman on a pedestal when He created Our Blessed Lady. Man, at least Christian man, has rightly glorified woman on a pedestal. But he does not have to glorify her from a supine position. Indeed little glory can be given to woman by a debased and inferior man. Standing on his own two feet and maintaining his God-given leadership over woman, only then can he give full and proper glory to woman.

ref:1.572, contra matriarchy and pro fathers working from home?:

Somebody should make a study of the growing danger that our country has become a matriarchal society. […] the present day breadwinner no longer works in his own shop attached to the home[.] Has our modern husband gradually and unwittingly surrendered leadership in the home to his wife because he works away from home and returns at the end of day as a sort of tolerated evening boarder?
