SUZANNE VENKER is the author of five books on the culture’s assault on marriage and the family (and how to circumvent it), as well as a marriage coach and podcast host of The Suzanne Venker Show. For over 15 years, Suzanne has taught women how to succeed with men in life and in love. She’s a leading voice for millions of women and men who know that a partnership with the opposite sex is superior to constant competition. Suzanne’s extensive research, combined with her sound and compelling arguments, dispel feminist myths that have infiltrated society and undermined women’s most important relationships. She has helped women:
• embrace the way men and women are naturally wired
• prioritize marriage and relationships over career
• express their unique value outside the marketplace
• enjoy the power of their femininity in sex and relationships
• build a lasting, satisfying relationship with a man
• build a flexible career that accommodates the needs of children and family life
Suzanne is a former columnist at the Washington Examiner and former contributor at Fox News. Her 2012 article, “The War on Men,” remains one of Fox News’ most read op-eds in history.
Suzanne’s work has also appeared in publications such as Time, USA Today, and the New York Post and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Forbes, The Huffington Post and London’s Daily Mail.
Her TV credits include Fox & Friends, STOSSEL, The View, CNN, ABC and more. She has appeared on hundreds of radio programs throughout the country, and her work has been featured on “The Dr. Laura Program,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “The Rush Limbaugh Show.”
A former English teacher, Suzanne was born in St. Louis, MO, and graduated from Boston University in 1990. After ten years on the East Coast, Suzanne returned to the Midwest, where she now lives with her husband of 23 years and their two teenagers, who are now in college. Her website is www.suzannevenker.com.
Suzanne Venker, by her own admission, didn’t know what she was doing in her early life choices, and has a divorce to show for it. She got her act together, remarried, and now coaches women on avoiding, or recovering from, the mistakes she has identified in her own history and which are systematically promoted in American culture.
Anyone with marriage issues would do well, IMHO, to find Venker’s youTube videos and/or read her books.
Per Wikipedia, Venker is the niece of the late Phyllis Schlafly.
The idea of a “helpmeet” works both ways.
what is your response to the following:
beer me
make me a sammich
its time for sex
hint: yes dear
Today’s modern karen women in church are breeding a generation of very selfish, entitled women. The bible tells us to submit one to another. The man is expected to model this behavior, THE FIRST TIME they have a major disagreement. The second time, it is the WOMAN’s turn to submit. Then the third time, it’s the MAN’s turn.
The way women see things now is that it is the man’s duty to submit EVERY time. Recipe for disaster.
How about:
It’s time to do the dishes, Mister
Well then, it’s time for sex
The women will be amazed at how often the dishes are done.
that works
I’m sure the comments will be interesting.
Keep his stomach full and his balls empty.
...is that frowned up these days??
My wife and I both embrace standard English, including diction and pronunciation, and allowing for few colloquialisms.
I would never ask my wife for a “sammich”, though she has made for me many a sandwich.
The modern American female thinks that Cooking, Cleaning, and F...ing are all three cities in China. And this is a joke for goodness sake.
A marriage license is not a bill of sale.
Venker has mentioned that a good chunk of her advice would be found in Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.I took that course back in the day, and was a satisfied customer.
Guy here, never again. Never. Fckuing. Again. Ever
Interesting.
Back when I was in an unaffectionate marriage, I read a lot of relationship books. There were two extremes.
One extreme said women were responders and men were 100% responsible for how they responded. While there is some truth that women are responders, this extreme denied that women bore any responsibility for their attitudes or choices.
The other extreme said that women were 100% responsible for happiness in the home. That if women would just feed men’s two hungers, food and sex, that a man would build them the Taj Mahal. And again there’s some truth that if women would meet those two needs of men, that would go a long way. But I know that there are men that don’t appreciate what they have. And they will treat women poorly regardless of how good the woman is to them. Plus a lot of men do not have a clue how or the resources to build the Taj Mahal, so be careful of setting too high of expectations.
My folks told me that marriage is not 50/50. That it needs to be 100/100, because there will be times when your spouse can not give 50.
Good luck.
I actually used a book called How to Marry the Man of Your Choice, decades ago. The main take away was that you can’t have a long and picky list of criteria for your ideal spouse and then say “I want him to love me just as I am”. You put your best self forward, and have compassion for the guy’s shortcomings, and then you can start connecting with guys because they will be at ease around you. It was really a love your neighbor as you love yourself bottom line. Married almost 25 years now. ❤️
