Publisher's summary

In this long-awaited follow-up to her groundbreaking best seller, Dr. Laura Schlessinger focuses on the need for men and women to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of masculinity and femininity; what the best ways to relate, care-take, and nurture each other are; and how to bring a marriage back from the brink of disaster.

Dr. Laura asserts that in order to produce and sustain a wonderfully satisfying marriage, spouses must recognize and appreciate the polarity between masculine and feminine. Both husband and wife have power in the relationship, and each needs to realize this in order to ensure personal satisfaction. Using real-life examples from her call-in radio show, and giving real-life solutions, she examines the typical mistakes made by men and women in their relationships and shows how marriages can pull back from failure and divorce.

Great Biblical Advice and No Sugar Coating It

I always appreciate the lack of fluff from Dr. Laura. I get more bang for my buck and my time that way. This book is full of goodness, especially the second have as that really hit home for me. Don’t delay, listen today! Save yourself and your marriage from yourself.
