A word from the editor: Whenever I suddenly get invited to go out drinking, I often do so without calling home first. Then when I come home after drinking too much, my wife gets angry, saying, "I had already made dinner, so why didn't you call me?" I end up not calling home either because there is no time to do so, or I feel that calling would spoil the moment. But here is what the author has to say: At home, think of your wife as a superior! It is absolutely true that if you thought of your wife as a superior, keeping her informed, contacting her and consulting with her would seem obvious. Therefore, it would only be natural for her to get angry if you didn't do so. However, as the husband you also want your opinions heard and to be able to do the things that you enjoy doing. So, what should you do? There are many tips about this in the book. In my case, there is no other book that has taught me so much. This is sure to be become a bible for those who step on their wives' toes every day! About the author:Yoshinori Kawakita Yoshinori Kawakita was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1935.
