For example, there is literally a chapter in which he clusters people into groups like: good men, bad men, good husbands, bad husbands, etc.

But I understand these books aren't targeted at people who are doing the majority of housework already. And what does it mean to deny them the choice of whether or not to to spend their time in that manner? I will read this again and again to remind myself that it isn’t just me, there are other women feeling the same way I do, and at least one man on the planet has recognized what often goes wrong in marriages. I guessed that I might get an increase in requests for coaching services, and that seemed cool to me.
