Beside Every Successful Man by Megan Basham

Beside Every Successful Man by Megan Basham

Strengthen family bonds, boost family income, and acquire a sense of purpose by helping your husband achieve his career dreams.

Terms like stay-at-home wife and stay-at-home mom once meant a woman whose lifestyle involved running the household, preparing the meals, and tending to her husband and kids. But today, a new army of educated, highly skilled women has completely reinvented-and re-embraced-the stay-at-home role.

Far from being June Cleaver, today's female stay-at-homers tend to be highly educated and work-credentialed, which opens up exciting possibilities-among them the opportunity to be her husband's most important career partner, mentoring and advising him to reach a level of success he wouldn't achieve otherwise.

Profiling a wide array of smart, driven women who've found intellectual and spiritual satisfaction by assuring their husbands' success, journalist and researcher Megan Basham shows how those who forgo a second paycheck and make home command central can not only strengthen their marriage, but also-eventually-secure a higher income.

One part manifesto, three parts hands-on prescriptive advice, this book is one of the most provocative and convincing ever written on the topic of women and work-a manual that, with its precise tips, will speed women toward the balance they seek.

There's food for thought here for any wife, including one who has her own career.
--Claudia Anderson, managing editor, the Weekly Standard
