Overview
Dr. Laura Schlessinger believes that, contrary to popular belief, it is not just the men who drop the ball after the marriage. The typical complaint is that men stop being romantic after hitting the altar; but the women do, too: Wives also tend to take their men for granted. Dr. Laura has spoken with women who debunk the myth that it's only the men who lose all interest in the relationship after the wedding. There are women who expect their husbands to fulfill all marital and familial obligations even when the wife decides sex is out! Some female callers display a lot of hostility towards domestic issues (like cooking dinner and keeping things cleaned up)even when they are primarily at-home/part-time. Other female callers expressed disdain for any activities and pleasures their husbands have outside of their own participation and control. And some have serious problems with their husbands' (prior) children and families, expecting him to sacrifice all his familial ties for her. No matter if you're the husband or the wife, you might recognize yourself in one of these categories. In THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF HUSBANDS, Dr. Laura shows you how to sift through these problems and come out with a happier home life, one that will sustain you for years and sustain your children. After all, helping married couples improve their relationships is the single best means of making the world a safer place for children.
