Does such love exist? Has it ever existed? In the first chapter of Fascinating Womanhood I have given several historical examples of such love. One is so special, so pertinent to our subject that I would like to repeat part of it here. The example I am referring to is the love President Woodrow Wilson had for his wife, Ellen. After 28 years of marriage President Wilson writes from the White House: “I adore you. No president but myself ever had exactly the right sort of wife. I am certainly the most fortunate man alive.” And in another letter, “I can think of nothing white I write but only you. My days are not so full of anxiety and a sense of deep responsibility as they are of you, my absent darling, who yet plays the leading part in my life every minute of the day.” (From The Priceless Gift, a collection of their love letters.)

Is such a love possible for the ordinary, everyday woman of today? The answer is “yes,” and this is the whole purpose of Womanhood Day. We want our sisters across the nation and in countries around the world to know that there is no reason they must “eat the crumbs that fall from the table” when “the banquet” awaits them. No matter what stage your marriage is in, you can turn it around and make it beautiful, loving and tender. We have had 40 years experience to prove that when these teachings are understood and applied, love will blossom and grow.

How can I speak with such assurance? Because during our 40 years of teaching these true principles to women from all walks of life we have collected thousands of testimonials providing solid evidence that these principles bring miraculous results. Our success has been phenomenal. Marriages that have lost their luster come alive again. Marriages that are deeply troubled have been restored to loving tenderness and even those on the brink of divorce have been rescued and revived. As long as a woman wants her marriage to work, it can, providing she is willing to listen to new ways of thinking and apply what she learns. None of these teachings are foreign to her nature. She needs only to apply her feminine instincts.

Womanhood Day, September 30:

In the world of Fascinating Womanhood there is a small planning committee that is just now setting goals to make Womanhood Day a special event this year and the years to follow. We would like to expand this central committee to include small local committees in cities in the US and foreign countries. Each local committee will have a director. The director will be in charge and will carefully select two assistants to help her. We will be in touch with the director and give her instructions by way of email. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to serve in the world community while remaining at home. You will be part of a movement that intends to make dramatic changes for the better in the world of womanhood. In reaching our goals we will no doubt shake the foundations of American womanhood, and perhaps some foreign lands, but the impact we will have on womanhood will be worth it. It you are interested in applying to be a director, please send a request to our email address: fw@sofnet.com, or our mailing address: PO Box 219, Pierce City, Missouri 65723. Please be sure to send us your email address: That is essential.

The purpose of Womanhood Day is threefold: 1. To celebrate our success in marriage. 2. To let people know about our success. 3. To attract international attention to our success.

Woodrow Wilson and Ellen had dreamed of building their dream house and were in the process of drawing up plans. Ellen was so excited that she made a little clay model of the house. Then disappointment came. Woodrow found the interest rates to be higher than he anticipated and had to abandon the idea of building a house. He was away at the time and wrote Ellen the sad news, with a terrible fear that she would be disappointed. He then explained the high interest rates (5½%) and then explained their situation. “Oh, I don’t know how I am to stand this. I feel as though I were thrusting a knife into you, but of course you must know at once. It is only by the force of will that I write this letter, to cut off all the plans that have brightened your dear face for so many months past. May not my love break the force of the blow a little, my poor darling.“

Ellen wrote back at once: “I could literally fly in my eagerness to be with you now, at this moment, to reassure you as to my feelings in this matter of the house, and so comfort you, for how plainly it appears in every word of your sweet letter that all your thoughts, all your distress is for me. I have been such a little goose over the house, so absorbed in plans about it that no wonder you thought that disappointment in regard to it would cut me to the quick.

”Let me whisper a secret. I am rather relieved to have it over with. I believe it providential, for ever since it became apparent that it must cost $9,000 instead of $7,000 I have been tormented by misgivings. The misgivings were wholly regarding the effect of the undertaking upon you. I could not but fear the debt and responsibility would burden and harass your spirit, that your precious time might be frittered away in attempts to relieve the strain by extra earnings. I feel my spirit raising by leaps and bounds at the thought that now we are not to incur such risks and if I could only send this letter to you through a pneumatic tube so as not to suffer from the thought that for twenty four hours more you will be agonizing over my disappointment, I should be perfectly happy.

“And now my darling, you must believe that from the bottom of my heart I mean every word I say, that I am perfectly happy with you in any house, that no disappointment can ever hurt for more than a few moments as long a I have you. How do I know but that we were making a mistakes that might have gone far to prevent your achieving the work for which God meant you, and I should have been responsible. The very thought makes me tremble.”

So relieved, so overjoyed and appreciative, Woodrow writes back this tender love letter: “Never, surely did any man have such a wife, such a love as I have, so sweet, so spirited, so brave and so wise. I knew, darling, how like a perfect woman you would come out of this disappointment; what I feared was its first great pain, the woeful upsetting of all cherished plans. You are the wisest, most Christian little woman I ever knew. Was ever such a letter written before, I wonder? There’s enough love in it to keep a man’s heart full for a lifetime. I’ve been on my knees since beginning this letter to relieve my heart of its great burden of thanksgiving. We are closer together than ever, now, darling, incredible as that may seem.”

In a following letter Woodrow, feeling guilty about abandoning the plans for the house, makes a promise: “This whole affair is a love affair with me, Ellen. I want the house as your house, your framework and possession, your setting, and I shall work for it unremittingly from this time out. I know what you will say; but I also know what my love for you demands.”

Ellen unselfishly answers: “Won’t you finally come out from the shadow of this house? You will break my heart if you continue to grieve about it, and especially if you talk or think about working unremittingly. If you were only here you could see in a moment that I am not in the least a heroine, but am really and absolutely light hearted about it. It amuses me to plan a scheme, but my heart is never so set on carrying out my plans as you suppose.” And that was not the end of the matter. Woodrow wrote a 12 verse love poem to her about it and another letter before they finally settled their hearts on the matter.

Comments from Grateful Women

“I was raised a modern woman and want desperately to share this information with many women, for I feel we have been deceived by our times, therefore bringing about many unhappy marriages and broken homes.”

“Fascinating Womanhood has caused a change in men and in turn a change in my husband. My husband and I are now in the ministry and I would like to share with others what someone shared with me so many years ago. Thank you for your dedication.”

“I’m really starting to grasp Fascinating Womanhood principles. I’m happier than I have ever been. It’s like a whole new world has opened up to me.”

“I was given Fascinating Womanhood by a priest when I was married and I know that without it I would be a different wife, most likely a nagging, depressed and unhappy one. As it is we have a very happy marriage with ups and downs because I am not yet perfect but from each down I learn more. Our marriage is much happier than it was the day we were married and I know that without FW it would be otherwise. Thank God and your wisdom and thank providence for placing it in my hands. I am forever in your debt.”
