"This book was interesting. A very fast-paced read with some insight into how to keep a marriage healthy or bring it back from the brink of disaster. Mainly a lot of stories from Dr. Laura's many years of radio shows and counseling. A lot of the information and suggestions are not very mind-blowing but do give you a positive outlook and remind you to try to always remember the good things about your spouse and why you wanted to marry them in the first place! Dr. Laura definitely has a point of view which is very clear but I think in a lot of ways she just uses common sense as far as relationships and communication is concerned."
"This book is very similiar to "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands", but written more for couples. While I think Dr Laura has very simplistic views and seems to put a lot of the responsibilities in the relation on the women, I do understand why she feels that way, and won't deny that women really do have the greater influence for good or bad in any relationship, and tend to be the driving force in the relationship. Also, I do feel she is right on when describing what men want and how easy it is to make them happy. There is always something to learn in any book she writes."
"Spoiler... if you love your spouse and appreciate them you already know what this book is trying to teach you. It was still fun to read on our long drives to SLC everyday last week. I would read to Jason all of the parts that would be beneficial to me of course. He glance at it and laughed at parts just like I did."
If I could give this book negative stars, I would.
I only read it because of my book club. I already read The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands with another book club and hated that book to pieces so I wasn't thrilled to be reading this one. But, I wanted to fully participate in my book club so I read it.
I was ready to write my review full of all the reasons why I hated this book and can't stand Dr Laura, but I'll refrain.
I need to go wash my brain out now.
PS- I'm not some femi-nazi. I actually agree with some of her views, but her tone is such a turn-off that I can't even read her book without getting angry. She also has a lot of double standards and I just can't stand it.
Oh, and another thing that I just remembered. Dr. Laura seriously needed a better editor. The sentence structure simply did not work in so many places and the typos were blatant. A high school student could have caught them."
