Publisher's summary

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 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 how to wield that power to attain all the sexual pleasure, intimacy, love, joy, and peace you want in your life. With real-life examples, and real-life solutions, Dr. Laura's simple principles have changed the lives of millions. Now they can change yours.

Critic reviews

"Like many of the author's best-selling books and audios, this is a groundbreaking and refreshing lesson. Schlessinger's own friendly and youthful narration makes the presentation a joy to hear in spite of the jarring nature of her message." (AudioFile)

Too little, Too late

I bought this physical book for my wife 18 years ago. She completely refused to Read it.

So here we are eighteen years later things have dramatically rolled down hill since. absolutely miserable. I just happened to be scrolling through audio books and found this again and figure. I would listen to it to see if I could pull anything out of it that could help. Now i'm just more depressed than ever thinking of what could have been if we would have worked on this together eighteen years ago.

Complete life changing book!

As a 21 year old woman of two very young children, life has been pretty challenging. I felt as if I needed guidance on how to be a better wife to my husband since I didn’t get what it was to be a good wife growing up. If you’re young and married, please give this book a listen or read! It’s given me the tools I need that I was never taught and I believe it will help anyone who is willing to learn!
