In Ten Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships, Dr. Laura addresses the problems men and women face in finding peace, joy and single and married fulfillment in relationships. She identifies the ten most common mistakes people make that mess up their relationships, including:

1. Stupid Secrets: Withholding information for fear of rejection.

2. Stupid Egotism: Asking not what you can do for the relationship but only what the relationship can do for you.

3. Stupid Pettiness: Making a big deal out of the small stuff.

4. Stupid Power: The need to always be in control.

5. Stupid Priorities: Consuming all your time and energies with work, hobbies, errands, and chores instead of focusing on your relationship.

Brings a lot of clarity

Short and to the point. Showed me what I need to work on, and also that I'm not being petty for disliking certain behaviors in men.

Great Read/Listen

Loved it 3 times so far... I can not get enough of Dr Laura Schlessinger.

Dr. Laura offers great advice

Dr. Laura does a super job pouring myriad life experiences into this valuable book of instruction. I love Dr. Laura, she possesses all the wisdom I expect and appreciate of a (long ago) fellow denizen of Brooklyn New York. Truly, God has blessed you Dr. Laura.

No brainer ideas that we can forget

It's so refreshing to hear someone tell it like it is without worrying of "feelings" or loosing a book sale here and there. If you want actual marriage advice that will more than likely make you stop and go "I do that!" Than this is your book. If you want a marriage book that makes you a victim and helps you justify your position. This isn't the book for you.

I had a bad childhood and knew that my childhood effected my adult life. But this book makes you stop and realize that maybe you have more issues than you realized. That you are responsible for your happiness. Not your spouse. And how ridiculous I feel for thinking with my feelings all the time. One of my favorite things she said was that we have a responsibility to our marriage and our family (children) even if your "feelings" are hurt. And later in the book she said that feelings don't have an IQ. But you do. So who's winning? Oh man, my "feelings" of anger towards my husband may be justified but the way I handle it wasn't. I have a lot more culpability in our marriage than I thought. Can't wait to start her other book!

Excellent

Loved it, couldn't put it down! Thank you Dr.Laura, I recommend it to everyone I know!
