"The Shah also built for his wife a magnificant palace of white marble. probably the most perfect dwelling place in the world at that time.  It was exquisite, with light passing through delicate carvings of white marble, almost like lace, and superb mosaics of birds and flowers in precious stones.  Here indeed the emporer created a work of art in making a home for his beloved. And above the rich columns holding up the ceiling, in beautiful Persian script in pure gold is the famous inscription, "If there is heaven on earth it is this, it is this, it is this."

Mumtaz died at the birth of their fourteenth child. From an old Persion manuscript is the following account.  "When the emperor learned that she was soon to die he wept bitterly because of the great love that he bore her, and one would have said the stars fell from heaven and the rain upon the earth.  Such lamentation arose in the palace that one would have said the day of judgment had arrived.  The emporer, weeping and striking his breast repeated the words of the poet Saadi, "God will not rest in the hands of a prodical, nor patience in the heart of a lover more than water in a seive.

"The great buildings of the world have been monuments of the pomp and pride of kings, or temples to gods, or records of rich and haughty cities.  But he, in the beauty of white marble, for the first time gave utterance to man's true love of woman, not physical desire but the mating of spirit with spirit."

Is This What Women Really Want? 

But is this kind of love what women really want?  What about the self-esteem that comes with hard earned achievements?  Or the comfortable standard of living one can enjoy through diligent effort and sacrifice? Or the inner joy and satisfaction that comes from being promoted to a high position in your company?  True, it does bring satisfaction, and career women readily admit to this joy of promotion.  But no matter what women say or do, no matter how brightly they shine in their lusterous careers, or how much satisfaction they receive from their worthy achievements, deep in their heart of hearts every woman wants, more than anything else, to be loved and cherished by her man.  This need is not only intense, it is universal.

Is this kind of love possible? 

It was with Shah Jahan and Mumtaz.   And listen to what Victor Hugo wrote about the feelings he had for the woman he loved:   "Do I exist for my own personal happiness?  No, my whole existence is devoted to her . . . My duty is to keep close to her steps, to surround her existence with mine, to serve her as a barrier against all dangers. . . if she but consent to lean on me amidst the difficulties of life."  

Probably one of the finest examples of true and enduring love is found in the love letters of President Woodrow Wilson to his wife, Ellen.  After being married for seventeen years he writes:  "All that I am, all that has come to me in life I owe to you.  I could not be what I am if I did not take such serene happiness from my union with you.  You are the spring of content, and so long as I have you, and you too are happy, nothing but good and power can come to me.  Ah, my incomparable little wife, may God bless and keep you."

And after being married for twenty eight years he writes from the White House, "I can think of nothing while 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." These lines were taken from a collection of their love letters.  Each is a love letter, warm and tender.

But we need not rely on a few isolated cases in history to prove that true love exists.  In Fascinating Womanhood we have had 40 years of experience.  During this time we have gathered solid evidence that the eternal truths we teach will lead to a truly loving marriage, the foundation of a happy, successful home.  We have received hundreds of thousands of letters that testify of this fact, many of which appear in the Fascinating Womanhood book, workbook and this website. 

What Must A Woman Do to be so Loved?  

What must a woman do, or what must she become to awaken such passionate feelings of love in a man? The first step to a happy marriage is to understand that all life is governed by law -  nature, music, art and all of the sciences. These laws are immutable. To live in harmony with them produces health, beauty and the abundant life.  To violate them brings ugliness and destruction.  Just as unwavering are the laws of human relationships.  These laws are in opertion even though you may not understand them. You may be happy in marriage because you obey them, or you may be unhappy because you violate them, without an awareness of the laws in operation. 

Through ignorance of the laws of marriage relationships much unnecessary unhappiness exists. We find one woman happy, honored and loved; and another, no less attractive, no less admirable, and no less lovable -  neglected, unhappy and disappointed.  Why?  FW explains why, for it teaches the laws she must obey if she is to be loved, honored and adored. 

In Fascinating Womanhood we teach you all about men, their needs, feelings and characteristics, what is important to them and how to make them happy.  And we give you a model to pattern from - The Ideal Woman, From a Man's Point of View. This Ideal Woman is divided into two parts, the Angelic and the Human, consisting of eight essential qualities.  This knowledge may be entirely new to you. You may never have even heard of these things before, but such knowledge will guide you to a much better and happier life.  Fascinating Womanhood is not just learning a set of rules that you try for awhile until they become tiresome.  Rather, it forever changes your way of thinking, and alters your values and priorities.

Comments from Grateful Students

Reprint from a 1978 Fascinating Womanhood Newsletter:  A wonderful example of devoted love is in the marriage of Helen and Peter Cushing, a British actor who played the villain in Star Wars.  He said of his wife, Helen in a recent article in the National Inquirer. "I've lost the only joy I my life - my wife Helen who passed away six years ago.  Without Helen life has no meaning for me.  I'm simply killing time until that wonderful day when we're together again.  I miss her terribly.  My loss is so unbearable that I don't want to go on living.  They say time heals but sadly for me time only makes things worse. I see only one end to my personal trauma - the day I am reunited with her.  Nothing could replace Helen in my life. There could never be anyone else."

Sandra Schindler

Unfortunately, due to family requirements, Sandra Schindler had to resign from teaching one of our online classes.  She is an excellent teacher who has given years of service to the Fascinating Womanhood program, influencing countless lives for good.  We sincerely hope this "time out" is only temporary and that she will join us again in the near future. 

Lucy Vander Ploog's Class 

When one more student enrolls, Lucy Vander Ploog will begin her online  class of 20 students. This  will likely be in the next day or so. Those already enrolled in her class are participating in the online discussions.  Lucy is an authorized FW teacher with a dedication to living the teachings, a willingness to teach it to others and the support of her husband in both.

Cynthia Dior Berenger

I would like to introduce our new online teacher,  Cynthia Berenger.  She is not new, however to "Fascinating Womanhood."  She first heard of FW when she was in Santa Barbara visiting a cousin and overheard a woman criticizing "Fascinating Womanhood."  She also attended a FW class in Provo, Utah in 1994 and has taught live classes where she lives in Sacramento, California.  She has the full support of her husband to teach this online class.  Her husband, James was somewhat cynical of women until he met  Cynthia.  The other day while playing with his toddler he looked over at Cynthia and  said, "I  can't  believe that there is a man on earth as happy as I am." 

Live Fascinating Womanhood Classes

We continue to encourage live Fascinating Womanhood classes wherever possible, especially in churches, educational institutions and outreach programs.  We also encourage women to teach classes in their homes or to form study groups in appropriate places.  There is nothing to take  the place of  live  classes where the teacher and her students can personally communicate with each other, and  follow  up with a monthly graduate meeting.  My daughter Kristine has recently taught two FW classes in Virginia and  reports that success has been as it has always been through the years, astounding and dramatic. 

If you are interested in teaching a FW class I can give you suggestions on how to get started and make the classes grow in your area. To be a successful teacher, however, you must take  it  seriously and  set aside the time and energy to make it successful.  A FW teacher must have 1) A conviction of the teachings, 2) Success in living it. 3) Time to prepare and give a well thought out lesson. It is a most wonderful experience to teach a FW class - to see women come to class with signs of distress in their faces and see them transformed with expressions of happiness and hope. By teaching these principles you will be part of a worldwide movement with unselfish and heartfelt goals.  

Nikki Hunter, North Pole

Speaking of rewards for teaching FW, I would like to quote from a letter I just received from one of

our authorized teachers in North Pole, Alaska.  "I just want to thank you SO MUCH for allowing  me  to  be an authorized teacher!!  I love teaching live classes and am learning so very much from them myself.  It is so good for these women to have these live classes, to share their insights and experiences and  to  have such essential and needed contact with other women who seek to be better wives, mothers  and  women.  I  can't possibly  thank  you enough for allowing me to teach your beautiful teachings and your personal interest in your teachers have done for my life as a woman. May God pour down His blessings upon you. n"
