I don't remember...but I have read the book, and I think it teaches a woman to be completely manipulative, and while I can see how that benefits one to some extent  , I don't see it as being profitable in a Christian marriage. Just trying to please your husband isn't manipulation, but when you do it for selfish reasons, or to get your own way, rather than because you love your man--THAT is manipulative and dishonest. (And unchristian.)
P.S. This is not to say I have never tried to get my own way. I am, after all, a brat.  I do try to let God help me be less bratty....
