The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage (Abridged) Audiobook

" I take some of her advice and throw some out the window. I would be (and have been in the past) more open to her if she wasn't such a masculinist (as I call it). I could not finish this book. She had a great point when she referred to women's weaknesses as our strengths gone too far. But when the men showed their weaknesses the same way (as strenths gone too far), she continued to blame the women and let the men get away with everything under the sun. I'm not saying her advice is useless, but for crying out loud, give women some credit! Personally, I think relationships improve when BOTH people are committed and willing to recognize weakness, not put it all on the woman (as if we didn't have enough on our plates). "

" Oh Dr. Laura. I do like how she says things. There were many stories in this book that made me feel like a good wife. Some people are nuts. But kudos to those of you in a poor marriage and stick it out. "

" More of the same. I was hoping to have a more balanced approach to the Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands but it was just a rehash. "

" To sum it up, Dr. Laura basically teaches her readers how to "love thy neighbor (spouse) as thyself," and how to own up to and take responsibility for your behavior. I think this book could help bad marriages become good ones, and good marriages become great ones. "

" Sometimes her books make me mad. I feel like she always thinks it's the women's fault. Nonetheless, she does offer alot of good advice on how to improve your marriage. "

" I appreciated the overall message of the book, namely to respect and be loving of your spouse. That being said, I understand that not everyone who reads this book will be pleased. Dr. Laura is nothing if not blunt! "

" Perhaps Dr. Laura's best, this book focuses on both husband and wife and what marriage is all about. If you are in need of an attitude adjustment, look no further. Great stories and overall ideas on improving ourselves and doing our part. PG-13 for language. "

" Every married person or every person thinking of getting married should read this. I saw myself in her examples a lot, unfortunately, and it made me do a double take. Read it. "

" I do prefer "KISS--Keep It Simple, Sweetie," but other than that, THANK YOU! Thanks for giving me permission to be a woman! It was especially nice to hear "love thy neighbor" outside of church, too. "

" Guys, we like what she says! "

" A lot of similar info. as the Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. Good reminders and a different perspective at how to look at things. "

" I thought her other book, proper care and feeding of husbands, was better. Still had lots of good information, but I felt like this book was a reprint of the first, but retitled so more women would be willing to read it. Ladies, just go read the other book if you want to improve your marriage. "

" Mostly a regurgitation of her previous book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, which in my opinion was better. "

" Fast read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's married or thinking about getting married. It's great! "

" she always seems biased to me. "

" Dr. Laura made some excellent points, but the book was a little long-winded. I think she could have cut the size in half and maintained all of the pertinent points. "

" Great book. It's good to know I'm not the only selfish wife out there, it's a whole book about selfish wives!!! :) I liked this book even though it got a little repetitive. It did help me understand men a little better which I needed! "

" I enjoyed this book, although it was very similar to "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" which I read a couple years ago. You could probably get away with reading just one of these two books and still get the basic ideas that she is trying to put across. "

" This book I found rather enlightening and helpful unlike her other book I read. "

" We have recommended this book to many couples. Especially great for non-Christian couples. But I must say, "Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" is my favorite of the two. "

" you can learn a lot in this book about men, but it's a bit negative for me. Still, the tips and positive suggestions in it are helpful. "

" I didn't want to like it, but I thought it had some good points. "

" Just what you'd expect from Schlessinger. Some good points and suggestions. Some parts made me want to punch her. Not a good read if you're a feminist! "

" There was some good information here, but mostly I was bored. I felt she tried to make it more exciting with intense examples from her radio show. Some good info, but not the best read. "

" This is like rewinding 50 years of progress. Dr. Laura is a moron. "

" I highly recommend for all married ladies!! "

" If this book is about what wives SHOULD be like then I NEVER want to get married - it sounds AWFUL!!! "

" This book is awesome! Dr. Laura totally tells you how it is and how to make marriage amazing! If you are happily married, unhappily married, soon to be married, or even thinking about marriage, READ THIS BOOK! "

" Give him "guy time", let him act like a man, don't whine to him, use sex for yourself too. He has feelings and emotions. Tell him you're proud of him and how hard working he is and he'll slay dragons for you. "
