Perfect for you if...

You're in a marriage that's lost its spark and you want practical, direct advice rather than soft platitudes.
You believe traditional relationship dynamics matter and want to understand how masculine and feminine roles can strengthen your bond.
You've heard Dr. Laura on the radio and trust her no-nonsense approach to relationship problems.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a modern take on gender roles and relationships that challenges traditional structures.
You prefer therapy-based or clinical approaches to marriage counselling over radio-show anecdotes.
You're sceptical of strong opinions about how husbands and wives 'should' behave in relationships.

About this book

This follow-up to The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands addresses both partners in a marriage. Dr. Laura examines how to restore relationships in crisis by exploring the differences between masculine and feminine roles and how appreciating these distinctions can strengthen a partnership. Both husband and wife hold power in the relationship, and recognizing this is key to personal satisfaction. Drawing on real-life examples from her call-in radio show, the book identifies common mistakes men and women make in their relationships and offers solutions for preventing divorce. It covers how to communicate effectively as a couple, the importance of understanding gender polarity, and the foundational principles of commitment, sacrifice, and mutual giving that sustain lasting marriages.
