GREAT BOOK that allowed me to understand myself and MY POWER to bring out the best in my husband by giving him MY BEST with a caring, NOT self-serving attitude. Let's face it--the selfish attitude is so prevalent in today's "liberated" and "independent-minded" wives and mothers, even in many of OUR own mothers from the last 30-40 years, so I decided to give it a good effort and see what would happen. All I did was make a truly liberating decision to add a few of his needs and favorite things to my to do list, became a great friend and lover again--today's "liberated" women aren't against great sex now are they?-- and made an effort to express my gratefulness for what he does for his family. My good man has finally come out of his self-protective shell that my previous selfish, neglectful behavior built up and we now have --GASP!-- a MUTUALLY RESPECTFUL and LOVING PARTNERSHIP! If I'm considered tread upon or weak by "liberated" women then PLEASE GIVE ME MORE OF THE SAME I'M GETTING NOW, because I've got the life I've always wanted! So let's rephrase the selfish line I used to use as my weapon or excuse for my bratty behavior of, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy", to now mean, "If nobody's happy, then Momma ain't happy either"...It has helped me create a much more welcoming home atmosphere for my entire family and added a level of serenity I have NEVER known before in ANY relationship. Our kids see the difference and will most likely choose better mates in the future and it all started with MY OWN EFFORTS to improve my home life-HOW PROUD AM I of MYSELF?!!! VERY! If you love him, show him and he'll return the love-IF YOU PICKED A GOOD MAN TO BEGIN WITH! Dismiss this if you're too prideful or selfish-to your own AND your kids own DETRIMENT-BUT I GOT MY GREAT MAN and I'll NEVER turn back!Read full review
This book was written after Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. The authors ability to get additional information from her readers and listeners and then writing testimonies and questions in this book was an awesome back up to The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. I suggest this book as a way to take some personal inventory, but be prepared to look deep inside, you might not like what you see. But at least you will know so you can start making the changes that will better you life overall.
I purchased all of the books because they were on sale. I love Dr Laura's advice and I plan on reading them all--soon. I have read others and been impressed with her down-to-earth, say-it-like-it-is advice. It makes me laugh when someone calls in and says they have listened to her for years then ask her "if they can leave their husband and kids to________________(fill in the blank with the dumbest thin you can think of). Don't they know she WILL NOT say "Great Idea!" I just love her, so I will get right on them. Thanks for the prod, TH
The follow-up companion book to "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands", which really tells women about men. Dr. Laura works from the premise that men are simple creatures whose needs are not trivial; they are real! She even points out that despite outward facades, Men really DO have emotions, and can be easily damaged by their women. Once those needs are met, he will do ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING for you! Do not underestimate the positive power women can easily exercise over Men!!! Dr. Laura draws from experiences from callers to her radio program and her own experiences as well, in wonderful detailed examples. Once you pick this book up, you will not want to put it down. In fact, you will seek out other titles by her. Very Informative and life changing!!!
I have not read much of the book in order for me to give it a five star review, but I listen to Dr. Laura on radio.
