"The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands"
by Dr. Laura Schlessinger
one page into the book and i couldnt believe it! i am the luckiest woman in the world, and my husband loves me so much, and all this time i was treating him like dirt. then i would complain that he was ruining our marriage. all this time everything was my fault!!!!

Answer 1

YES, I AGREE. I am a man, and I bought the book and read it. It is so accurate on the way men and women interact. Every woman should read this book, then they will have their men bustin their butts to please their woman in return.

All men want is a little respect.

Answer 2

I have not read this book, but have read similar ones. I am a Christian with 4 children and was married to their father for 8 years. I tried and tried to be the perfect wife that was respectful, caring, fulfilling his sexual needs, taking care of him like he was the King.

Most men would probably appreciate that and in return treat their wife like a Queen, but NOT every man. My husband just took more and more advantage of my kindness, love, and respect. I was NOT a doormat in any way, either.

When he physically assaulted me in front of our 4 children I left him and now we are divorcing. He is so sorry now and admits to how badly he treated me and that he was the one that was to blame for the failure of our marriage. AND...he wants me to come back. I refuse.

WHY? Because I talked with him repeatedly for years about his raging and about how much he was hurting me and our children and he refused to work on it or do better until I left him. He had chance after chance to do better and change, and took advantage of the fact that I'm a good Christian girl. He didn't believe me when I told him I wouldn't live like that for the rest of my life. HE felt like I was the mom of 4 kids and stuck...so he didn't attempt to put effort into being a husband that deserved a good wife and happy children.

So, while it's good to be respectful, kind, take care of your husband, fulfill him sexually, and be his soft place to fall...not every husband will in turn treat you the same. It's not always the woman's fault (although I believed that same lie for years) and you need to use this approach with caution and your eyes and heart open to the fact that not all men are 'normal' (most men really would be thankful to have such a great wife).

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade!

Answer 3

I read that book..

My husband and I already have a great relationship but there was so much hype about if a few years back I decided to read it..

The basics of this book..

act like you are a wife in the 1950's and swallow your pride. His feeling mean more than yours and that no matter how many hours you work and are tired you should always tend to his needs no matter what.

The end

Plain and simple...a marriage in this day and age should be equal..we work full time, we have a house and children to care for. Oh and yes, equally care for each others feelings, thoughts and needs...

Answer 4

I am not married, but I think I will get a proposal soon...anyway, right now I am reading how to avoid marrying a jerk by Jack Van Epp. I will certainly read this book by Dr. Laura next. Thanks for the review on the book.

Answer 5

You can't be serious. While she advocates women giving lots of blow jobs in that book, and that makes it tough to turn down, it's difficult to imagine taking advice from a bigger hypocritical asshole than "Dr." Laura.

Her doctorate is in nutrition, not psychology or counseling or anything close to human relationships. She cheated on her husband. For YEARS. With more than one guy. Recorded all her nude adultery with plenty of photos showing her spreading her legs for other men. Yet has the nerve to berate men for cheating. She brought her obnoxious kid to work for years and told mothers to stay at home - that the workplace ruins children. She tells people to be honest but backstabs her coworkers. She tells people to be "the children of your mother" but had such a terrible relationship with her own mother that the woman was dead in an apartment for months before "Dr." Laura knew about it.

geezus what a phony. She is the ultimate "do as I say, not as I do" 2-faced media whore. She has marginalized herself with her own outrageous power trips and stupid remarks. if you give her money, you'll just encourage her.

Answer 6

No, i dont study plenty. (of course its undesirable). sturdy success alongside with your interpreting. Edit The Christians are additionally not ill on the actual incontrovertible fact that Joseph married Mary, whilst Mary grew to become into 12, and Joseph grew to become into 35+ of age. some christians say the bible does not say approximately an prolonged time, yet its sparkling that that at that factor, Jewish rabbis set age 10 to twelve for the marriage of females. much greater,the Roman Catholics have self belief that Joseph grew to become into ninety 365 days previous whilst he married the 12 365 days previous Virgin Mary. Ignorant human beings ^^^^ could say the Christians have self belief in a pedophile God who made 12 365 days previous Virgin Mary pregnant.And Jesus is born because of the fact of a few pedophile activity. yet this is with the help of organic lack of expertise. @Nazmeen, i grew to become into not speaking approximately Joseph, Christians have self belief that's God who fathered Jesus from a 12 365 days previous female, so which you think of Christians have self belief in a pedophile God ? in case you do think of so, its basically because of the fact of your lack of expertise.

Answer 7

that's right! this is exactly what people mean when they refer to the invisible father with the family at the mall fading away n dying slowly from being overshadowed ! so how bout giving him some pennies to throw into the fountain

Answer 8

Thank you Krazy Kit!

I hope all the women in here take your advice.

Most men really love their wives, but when you dont' respect them, they are easily influenced to go astray.

Men are not given the credit they NEED. Men need to be appreciated just as much as women.

Equal rights!
