Publisher's Summary

In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Laura urgently reminds women that to take proper care of their husbands is to ensure themselves the happiness and satisfaction they yearn for in marriage.

Women want to be in love, get married, and live happily ever after. Yet disrespect for men and disregard for the value, feelings, and needs of husbands has fast become the standard for male-female relations in America. Those two attitudes clash in unfortunate ways to create struggle and strife in what could be a beautiful relationship.

Countless women call Dr. Laura, unhappy in their marriages and seemingly at a loss to understand the power they have over their men to create the kind of home life they yearn for. Now, in The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, Dr. Laura shows you how to wield that power to attain all the sexual pleasure, intimacy, love, joy, and peace you want in your life. With real-life examples, and real-life solutions, Dr. Laura's simple principles have changed the lives of millions. Now they can change yours.

Must read in this feminist society

Everyone woman who wants to grow old with a man next to her or wants to have an intact family needs to listen to this book. Feminism is a lie and ruining society. Don’t fall for the trap!

A needed ouch !

This book stirred up some negative feelings, but brought some much needed male perspective on marriage. Useful, but not for everyone.

Hard by necessarily truths

Hard to hear. Definitely requires a trigger warning for women who have had parents & partners who are/were abusive. Highly recommend women who are farther along in their healing journey and in a good place to consider reading, but not before you recover from people pleasing, 'fawning', and over giving to your partner in toxic ways.
