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.

Dr. Laura solves marriage problems

Would you listen to The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage again? Why?

Forget therapy or marriage counseling, just get this book. The overall key to making anyone's marriage become Great... is by doing your best to make your companion happy.
Dr. Laura's book has healed my marriage and my way of thinking. I hated my job and was not happy in my marriage. Overnight I had a change in attitude and that changed everything. I have the same job and same wife but I am happy now. Highly reccomend to every married couple.

Should be a requirement for every marriage!!!

Where does The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have more than 1000 books in my library and this is the best book in it!! I have listened to it more than 5 times and every time I cry. I love my husband more than the air I breathe but sometimes I don't show it. This book ripped me to the core!! I agree with EVERY WORD but sometimes I get so self-absorbed that I neglect the most important thing/PERSON in my life. This book helps me put everything in prospective and remember why I fell in love with my Man! He is a MAN and loves me! I now send this book to all my friends so they can have the marriage we all dream of!! Thank you Dr. Laura for reminding me who I am and WANT to be, MY HUSBANDS WIFE (GIRLFRIEND)!!

Love her blunt honesty.

She doesn't sugar coat it. She's honest and to the point. Grit in individuals and marriage is not totally lost.
