Title: The Very Incomplete Husband
Review: Mr Priolo is a counselor of the "nouthetic" persuasion, and therefore is apt to seek Scriptural backing for his views where none exists. For example, most of us would agree that body language, and in particular, facial expression, is a powerful means of communication. But Mr Priolo can't accept this unless he can find a Biblical example. Happily, he does so in Cain's response in Gen 4:5.Now take that poverty-stricken kind of exegesis, and apply it to the relationship between husbands and wives, and you have the basis for Mr Priolo's book. Those reviewers who characterize his view of women as patronizing are correct.There were a few ideas that I found interesting. His chapter on sex (excuse me, "sexual relations"!) was perhaps the best. However, the "bones" to be discarded far outweigh the "meat" to be enjoyed.
