Synopsis

Dr. Laura Schlessinger reveals how to bring a marriage back from the brink of disaster.

Jumping off her million-copy bestseller The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, Dr. Laura Schlessinger exposes the sensitive and loving truths necessary to produce and sustain a wonderfully satisfying marriage. First and foremost, men and women need to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of masculinity and femininity. Both husband and wife have power in their relationship, and both need to realize this to ensure for themselves the personal satisfaction they yearn for. Dr. Laura explores the best ways a couple can relate, caretake, and nurture each other, and how to rescue a troubled marriage that seems doomed to fail.

Using real-life examples from her call-in radio show, Dr. Laura focuses on the typical mistakes made by men and women in their relationships, and gives us real-life solutions for keeping our unions strong, loving, and lasting.

From AudioFile:

The relationship expert talks plainly and insightfully about how men and women are different. This optimistic and affirming lesson shows how men and women can depend on each other in healthy ways and live up to that trust even when it's difficult to do so. A bounty of survey results and personal stories from readers is helpful. The presentation is more than a feel-good lesson. Schlessinger offers many specific ideas for solving typical marriage issues and recovering from devastating marital problems. Lily LoBianco provides a perky but serious reading that captures every nuance in the writing and every ounce of the author's enthusiasm. Along with great pacing and modulation of intensity, her energy and wry personality are appealing, even seductive. T.W.
