Isn't the real message of relationship self-help books that the man has to manage communication with his wife
Men are more simple and transparent, women are more complex and less transparent. Sure, sometimes men do dumb stuff and are a little more selfish. But even the most thoughtful, unselfish man will still probably have to tolerate ludicrous accusations from his wife that he wouldn’t put on her, on occasion. It’s assumed that the woman is thoughtful and maintaining her end of the relationship, because that comes so much more naturally to women than men.
Has anyone else noticed this (probably unintended, but unavoidable) message in relationship self-help books?

Your question is confusing. First you ask whether self-help books teach men to take the responsibility for managing communications in marriage. Then, you go on to say that self-help books assume that communications come so much more naturally to women than men. Then you ask if anyone else noticed this? Seems to me that if interpersonal communications comes more naturally to women, then they should manage it.
What possible sense does it make to give the management responsibility to an inferior … regardless of the work?
