Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Celestial love is the highest form of tender love a man can have for a woman. It is not dutiful, but spontaneous and warm. When a man truly loves a woman, he experiences a deep feeling within.

#2

A tender, protective feeling of love is found in the words of Victor Hugo, who wrote about Adele Foucher, the woman he loved in real life: Do I exist for my own personal happiness. No, my whole existence is devoted to her, even in spite of her.

#3

The love letters of President Woodrow Wilson, written to his wife, Ellen, are a fine example of true and enduring love.

#4

The Taj Mahal, a tomb built in Agra, India, by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz, is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. It stands as a monument of man’s true love of woman.

#5

The shah built a magnificent palace for his wife, the most perfect dwelling place in the world at that time. He gave her the greatest token of love a man has ever given to a woman: the Taj Mahal.

#6

Love in marriage is the most important element in its success. When the marriage is happy, you have happy children who can develop normally and be prepared for the life ahead. The happy home becomes a worthy contribution to the well-being of society.

#7

The ideal wife is the one who loves her husband as much as he loves her. The ideal husband is the one who applies the teachings of Fascinating Womanhood, and as a result, gains a greater understanding and appreciation for his wife.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

To understand the masculine viewpoint, consider the ideal woman through a man’s eyes. The things we women admire in each other are rarely attractive to men. Men place more emphasis on the sparkle in a woman’s eyes, smiles, freshness, and radiance.

#2

The Ideal Woman, From a Man’s Point of View, is divided into two parts: the Angelic and the Human. The Angelic side has to do with a woman’s spiritual qualities, including her good character, understanding of men, domestic skills, and a quality of inner happiness. The Human side refers to her appearance, manner, and feminine nature.

#3

Agnes is the Angelic side of our ideal, the side that inspires worship. David Copperfield knew Agnes from childhood and worshiped her from the time he first beheld her. He became madly infatuated with Dora, not with Agnes.

#4

Dora is the Human side of our ideal, the side that fascinates, captivates, and inspires a man’s overwhelming tenderness and desire to protect and shelter her. She was too bewildering for David to handle, and he was led into hopeless slavery by her captivating, girlish ways.

#5

Dora was difficult to rely on, because she was the soul of purity and truth. She was difficult to understand, because she was so unlike Agnes. When he was with Dora, he felt like he was going crazy, because he lacked the comfort and support of Agnes.

#6

Dora was a disaster as a homemaker. She could not manage the household, the finances, or the cooking. She bought an expensive cookbook but used it to let her little dog stand on.

#7

David’s marriage to Dora was not a complete love, and he did not enjoy real happiness. He felt tenderly toward Dora, but he did not feel happy. He loved his wife dearly, but he was not happy.

#8

David Copperfield felt two different types of love for Agnes and Dora. He felt a type of love for Agnes that was not strong enough to bring him to marriage, and he felt a type of love for Dora that was forceful, consuming, and intense.

#9

The two women who influenced David the most, Agnes and Dora, were both wrong in some ways, but they are still worth emulating in some ways. Agnes had the adoration and love of David, but she also had the understanding and appreciation of his highest ideals.

#10

Agnes had four outstanding qualities: she had a pure and lovely character, she understood men, she had inner happiness, and she was a capable housekeeper. She lacked the girlish, childlike qualities, the gentle, tender, and fascinating little ways that stir a man’s heart.

#11

There are many women who are great mothers and housewives, but if they lack the adorably human qualities that men find attractive, they will fail to win their husbands’ love.

#12

The Angelic and the Human are present in every person. They are traits that can be seen in Deruchette, a character from Victor Hugo’s novel Toilers of the Sea. She is sweet and charming, and her presence lightens the home.

#13

Agnes was a woman of prayer, holy innocence, and living form of a blessing. She was capable of radiating inner happiness.

#14

Deruchette had many childlike qualities, including changefulness, fresh appearance, and radiated happiness. She was also full of giddiness and vivacity, and at times she had a melancholy air.

#15

The Angelic and the Human are both present in the character of Amelia from the novel Vanity Fair by William Thackery. She is described as a kind, fresh, smiling, tender, little domestic goddess. She was too modest, too tender, too trustful, and too weak for any man to know without feeling called upon to protect and cherish her.

#16

The four women we have discussed so far were all examples from classical literature. There are, however, many examples from history that can be used to demonstrate the importance of female beauty.

#17

Mumtaz was the ideal wife for Shah Jahan. She was beautiful, wise, and kind. She helped to shape the life of her husband, but we only get a glimpse of her beautiful figure and never her words.

#18

The Angelic and the Human are the two main traits that make a woman charming. They are the qualities that a man finds fascinating, and they will definitely awaken his tender feelings of love.

#19

I have always been happily married, but I read F. W. to help me understand how my husband and I could be better together. I was amazed at the simplicity of the book, yet the profound truths are nothing short of earth-shaking.

#20

I wanted my husband to wear his wedding ring, but he said he hated it and couldn’t keep it on because it made him feel trapped. I gave him F. W. , and two months later he asked for his ring. Our love has grown stronger every day since.

#21

Everyone should read F. W. It will help them understand the male mind and help them understand how to deal with their husbands. It will help them understand how their husbands feel and what they need.

#22

The book F. W. taught me the most about men and marriage was how to understand them, the woman’s role, and femininity. I used it to help my sisters understand men and marriage, and it helped them understand men and the woman’s role.

#23

The success of F. W. is evidenced by the testimonies of thousands of women who have applied these teachings in their own lives and marriages. It is best if you don’t inform your husband about the principles behind Fascinating Womanhood, so you can see his automatic response to them.
Insights from Chapter 4

#1

Men are different from women, and they have different needs and values. Without understanding these differences, we often provide men with the things they need, rather than the things they need.

#2

Don’t try to change your husband, because if you do, you’ll only end up regretting it. Instead, accept him at face value and don’t try to change him. A happy marriage is based on this principle.

#3

Acceptance means you accept your husband for who he is today, with no changes. You understand that his conduct could be better, but this is his responsibility, not yours. You recognize his weaknesses, but you count them as human frailties.

#4

There are nine categories of men’s faults, and it is up to you to fix them. You must accept your husband and his faults, or try to change him. But why. Perhaps for one of the following reasons: he spends too much time watching television, in the bathroom, or away from home with the boys.

#5

If you are trying to change your husband because his faults get on your nerves, create distressing problems, or deprive you of some of the things you want and deserve, review his faults to see if they are truly deserving of change. If they are, do not persist in the matter.

#6

It can be extremely difficult to try and change your husband, and even when you do, it can create problems with serious consequences. Changing your husband may threaten his feeling of security, which can lead to conflict and serious arguments.

#7

When a wife doesn’t give her husband the freedom to be himself, when she constantly pushes and nettles him to change, it can destroy a happy marriage.

#8

Tolstoy was a novelist who wrote two masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina. He was so admired by his people that some of them followed him around day and night and wrote down in shorthand every word he said.

#9

A wife tried to persuade her husband to join her religion, but he refused. She kept after him night and day, but each attempt failed. One evening, she arranged for the missionaries of her church to drop by for dinner.

#10

The author found that men were usually wise enough to want what was best for them, but they didn’t want to be pushed. They would often rebel against healthful habits if their wives tried to impose them on them.

#11

Don’t try to change your husband. His habits are difficult to change, and you will only make things worse if you try. His change
