I have read other Deida, not that book and no, that is not what he says. Number one is close the rest - no. Deida does talk about the man ignoring minor resistance from his wife and taking the leadership role but he also talks about understanding your W in a very intimate way. He never references one's partner as disposable but certainly does acknowledge that all people are not right for one another all the time. That is a far different stance. Cemar - when the book comes please read it in a flexible way. Read it with a sense of, "Hhhmmm, wonder if there is something to this?" You need to see things with a little more flexibility - your W, what you read, how you view things and you will go a long way toward improving your relationships.
Hopefully someone who read the book will respond about the actual content of the book.
