In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Laura urgently reminds women that to take proper care of their husbands is to ensure themselves the happiness and satisfaction they yearn for in marriage. Women want to be in love, get married, and live happily ever after. Yet disrespect for men and disregard for the value, feelings, and needs of husbands has fast become the standard for male-female relations in America. Those two attitudes clash in unfortunate ways to create struggle and strife in what could be a beautiful relationship. Countless women call Dr. Laura, unhappy in their marriages and seemingly at a loss to understand the incredible power they have over their men to create the kind of home life they yearn for. Now, in The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, Dr. Laura shows you—with real-life examples and real-life solutions—how to wield that power to attain all the sexual pleasure, intimacy, love, joy, and peace you want in your life. Dr. Laura's simple principles have changed the lives of millions. Now they can change yours.

Changed my view on marriage
Say what you will about Dr. Laura's credentials, but give this book a chance. I know it is hard to swallow for self-proclaimed feminists, but the simple instructions in the book make sense! Just after reading the first few chapters, I was treating my sweet husband better! This book was frustrating because it brought to light my own selfishness, something I was not necessarily ready to confront. Basically, Dr. Laura says stop acting like a bitch and you'll reap the benefits. Love him for what he is, not what you want him to be.
<br />I have given this book to numerous friends, my mother, my sister and mother-in-law. They all have had positive experiences after reading and re-reading it.

Thank You!
Dr. Schlessinger's advice is right on.
<br />If you are looking for a GREAT relationship - she's got a valuable point of view.
<br />
<br /> There is currently a war between men and women in our culture that inevitably threatens our relationships if we do not bring awareness to the fact that it exists and are not mindful of our unconscious participation in it.
<br /> Her point is very direct: on the whole, women want relationship, so since we want it, why trash men so much? I am impressed by her honesty about this volatile issue because she is really interested in people having great, supportive, respectful, loving and satisfying relationships, and is not afraid to suggest that dropping the war with men can be the answer.
<br /> I also highly recommend Ariel and Shya Kane's books: How to Create a Magical Relationship and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. They address how to have a relationship that is satisfying and magical by dropping both the war with men and the need to be 'independent' when what we really want is to be in a satisfying relationship. I deeply appreciate both Dr. Schlessinger's and the Kane's refreshingly direct points of view!
<br />Many thanks.
