Search - The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands

I really liked this book. I read it when I was mad at my husband and didn't want to be nice to him. She does a great job of presenting information that may not be popular opinion, but is incredibly valuable. For some reason it is okay to treat men horribly in our current society. Living in a house full of men I really do see this all the time, one husband, four sons. This book mostly encourages women to stop being such snotty brats and treat their husband with respect. She never encourages women to put up with abusive or bad behavior but in this book she assumes that you have a relatively decent husband and deals with how you, the woman, behave. A definite benefit for any marriage but you have to be able to look at your own flaws since this book will not allow you to whine about his! :)

Men are simple, make us feel valued, give us food, sleep, and sex, and we'll try to do whatever you need us to. No brainer.

I would not even give this piece of garbage a rating. If you want this book, you will send me the postage to mail it.

Even though Dr. Laura is very conservative and olf-fashioned in her views, she does make some very valid points. I enjoyed reading it and it has given me a lot to think about.

I love this book. My husband and I have an excellent relationship, but there are many things I could improve to be a better wife for him. This is a book I will hold on to and probably reread annually :)

A quick read. Pros include conveying the obvious of following the Golden Rule, treat those you love as if you actually love them, and personal responsibility. The cons include how the book is organized - it almost feels as if it written train-of-thought. There is little story arch, if that makes any sense in what is basically a self-help book. Another con is that her tone can turn some people off the message.
