I said: Why is the onus always on the woman to create a healthy relationship?

You said: Where did you get that idea?!? Please give me some references (with URLs) that state that it is "always on the woman to create a healthy relationship."

I said: "Show me a book...

You said I'm dodging the question

Did you even read the article? It's about a book. There are many books on the market just like it. There are no books that I've ever seen taking the husband-needs-to-get-his-act-together perspective. You're question on my response makes no sense. I'm stating an observation of books on relationships. There's no "source with URLs."

You did try to dodge the question by not telling where this HUGE cabal was that was insisting that it is "always on the women to create a healthy relationship." You showed nothing except to point to one (1, uno) book about how women can help their men be better husbands.

Now, to answer your question, here are fifteen books about being a father, husband, etc.

Maybe do a little research before going on a rant. I have no doubt that you can find MANY more than fifteen. The above link is the first hit that I got on my first attempt search.

And, yes, the Bible does count when it comes to being a good husband/wife. I won't discount it and say not to add it to the list.

I don't know about books, but a lot of the Christian counselors these days seem to be hawking the "blame it all on the man" approach these days. It's the same as on this very thread where someone posts that his wife isn't wifing and a dozen people pop up and tell him it's all his fault, he isn't doing it right.
