Why would a man risk losing his wife and his kids by having an affair? I devoted a whole hour of the Dr. Laura program talking to women who stayed with their husbands after discovering they had been unfaithful. And that prompted this special segment with men calling in to talk about why they had jeopardized marriage and family for sex on the side. I think you’ll find it enlightening…

When a couple with young kids comes to me for help after an infidelity, I’m going to ask if it was a one-time thing or a pattern of behavior. It's also important to know HOW the affair ended. Did they stop just because they got caught? Did the other person do the dumping? Or did your spouse come to his or her senses? These details matter because, when children are involved, it’s not so simple to walk away. Your kids will suffer greatly. If we’re not talking about a gross pattern of behavior and if there is remorse and a sincere desire to repair the damage, I’m likely going to suggest you stay and try to work on the marriage.

I read an article recently that said the global wellness business has become a six trillion-dollar industry. From weighted blankets to mindful menopause retreats, there are endless products, services, supplements and medications to help relieve the stress of everyday life. Before you convince yourself that the only way to get more peace is to purchase it, you should try some of the anxiety-taming tips I’m discussing today.

Do you believe you’re failing as a parent? Does it feel like you’ve lost control and your kids are using tantrums, tears and other strategies to run the show? The first thing you need to understand is that you cannot rationalize with a child. They’re selfish little creatures who want their immediate needs gratified. They are in their emotions and want what they want. And they’ll make a lot of noise while trying to get your attention or bend you to their will.

When I would travel the country for book signings, one of the most special combinations of people to arrive at my table would be mothers and daughters-in-law. It’s always so touching when two of the most important women in a man’s life actually like one another, and maybe even love each other. While it’s sadly not the norm, I’ve always believed that when a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law can open their hearts to receive the blessing of their relationship ...

I’ve done a number of Deep Dives on the importance of affection, sensuality and sex in marriage. But it’s my most recent effort that may make the biggest impact on my listeners yet. It started with me reading an email I received on-air that generated lots of caller feedback and comments that flooded my inbox in the following days. I want you and your marriage to benefit from hearing the whole thing.

One of my favorite t-shirts in the Merch Store at DrLaura.com reads, “You Picked Him. Stop Picking on Him!” It’s something I say to callers a lot. Mostly to women who tell me that they can just no longer live with their husband’s bad habits, insensitivities, lack of ambition and such. I always ask, “When did you first notice these negative behaviors?” Followed by, “Did your mother, sister, best friend – anyone point these red flags out to you?” More likely than not, the behaviors existed before the marriage and the children. More likely than not, someone pointed out the potential for a problem.
