This Completely Makes Sense! A Must Read For Wives!!!
I am so thankful that Dr. Laura wrote this book. My relationship with my husband has already improved and I just got the book on Tuesday! I realized that it is much easier for me to figure him out, then for him to figure me out!I explained this book to him in this way:
I am the engine (complex, complicated, etc), he is the light switch(simple, not hard to figure out).
In order for him to get the engine running at its best, the light needs to be on!!!
Several times I quoted something from this book to him, and he said, "exactly!" or "I couldn't agree more!" He also told me that he knows this book is already helping with our marriage!!
Dr. Laura did a fabulous job at letting readers know what 3 things men need, and that once women figure out that men are simple in their needs, they will soon provide us with love, affection, and the attention we desire.

Good Common Sense for strengthening marriages
The title is clever, but Dr. Laura's main point is that men are essentially simple creatures who want to be admired and loved by their wives and will treat them like queens in return. As such, she says, it's necessary for women to respect the differences between the sexes rather than insist that men act like women. Schlesinger cites the need for a religious foundation for strong marriages, but she lays much of the blame for the attitudes of today's women squarely at the feet of the feminist movement, which she says is largely responsible for the self-centered, me-first, I-don't-need-a-man approach found in today's society. I read this book cover to cover in several hours and found the recommendations very reasonable--her goal, after all, is to make good marriages stronger and provide good homes for the kids who come from these marriages. Recommended especially for young married couples, but anyone can learn something from this book and will find it helpful seeing the basic tenents of marriage laid out on printed pages as a reminder.

FLAKY RHETORIC, BUT INTERESTING MESSAGE
I don't know one person in the world who won't date his moments of greatest happiness to the time his family was the most intact, whole, unshakable. To me, this book (despite its mildly salacious title) was about that subtle nuance of marriages that guides life to be fitted around duty and responsibility, rather than around the pursuit of that elusive straw man, happiness. It nearly makes one wish that there was someone a bit more hip and compelling than the author of this book standing up for this simple hardhitting truth, because the point is compelling. Regardless of its title or whatever polarized commentary you hear about its contents, this book is a very worthy skim. Similar Products
