Product Description

Why be a saintly Good Wife, caring for his every need, when you can be a sexy Sister Goddess and make you both twice as happy?

"Diva of Desire" Regena Thomashauer (a.k.a. Mama Gena) delivers a saucy, surprising, absolutely essential guide to reviving passion and pleasure in your marriage.

Let Mama cure you of the "Good Wife Syndrome" -- that common malady characterized by an unnatural drive to sacrifice yourself, organize your married life around your husband's needs, and then blame your bewildered husband for your profound unhappiness. Mama Gena's Marriage Manual is here to remedy your condition by administering a simple yet tremendously effective antidote: fun. Fun because when a woman indulges her desires, she has an uplifting effect on everyone around her. Mama gives specific strategies and exercises for increasing the pleasure quotient in your life, improving communication with your mate, and gathering a powerful network of Sister Goddesses that will help speed you toward your goals.

Mama Gena's Marriage Manual will help you craft a partnership that enables you to do more, have more, and be more than you ever can on your own.

This is great advice on being your own woman within a marriage. I really liked Mama Genas' wit, charm & approach in which to infuse all the joy, fun & passion you can handle. And the best part is, it really works! I feel positive and truly happy about my life and that just spills over into my marriage.

I read in some of the review below that this author is divorcing. I'm not surprised one bit. This is the worst marriage advice since Dr. Laura Schlessinger's books. Mama Gena advises women to put your own desires first and foremost, even before your husband's or marriage because this will make your husband love you more. And in one of the examples, she suggests flirting with another woman's man on behalf of the woman to help her get what she wants. This book is insulting. Not to mention the cheap examples she throws in: (This happened to my friend, so it can happen to you mentality). She portrays men as idiots who don't know what they want anyway so women take advantage of that by manipulating them. Get them to do what you want -- TRAIN them. Get a bunch of shallow girlfriends to disclose all you and your husband's intimate secrets. He won't know anyway. Its just between us girls right? I can't believe someone publishes this woman's books.

This book isn't as organized and easy to follow as Mama Gena's two previous books, but it's a good reminder to keep joy and pleasure at the forefront of your marriage and the forefront of your life.
