Changed my way of thinking for the better
| Customer Rating: | This book has changed my way of thinking and opened my eyes. I have been married for almost three years, and very happily too (although not without disagreements, I hasten to add). However, by reading this book, I found that there are ways that I can improve my marriage too. I cook, I clean and generally try to be a good wife. However, I can see that with familiarity you can begin to take each other for granted, try to get your own way all the time, not make the effort and forget to impress or dress up for your husband. It showed me that feeding your husband is much more than having food ready for him each evening. It is about making HIM your No.1 priority !!!!
As another reader said, the book is worth its weight in gold and I couldn't agree more. I will now be passing this book to my mother, as I often find my father confiding in me about `lack of respect' from my mother. I have been witness to my mother always raking up the past, dangling past failures in front of my father, constantly complaining and undermining him by calling him `stupid' at every opportunity. Never the other way around. I hope it does something to mend her ways after more than 30 years of marriage.

A must for newly weds!
| Customer Rating: | | I read this book in one sitting. I considered myself happily married but always had the usual gripes about my husband not being romantic enough, blah, blah, blah. Reading this book has been a revelation, it opened my eyes to the fact that I have a wonderful husband, and although he doesn't buy me flowers all the time he always washes up, runs my bath, etc., etc., which according to this book is his way of showing me he loves me. I have been taking him granted for so long, I'm just lucky he's stuck around long enough for me to find this book. It's not all about losing 'power', if anything treating your husband with more respect will actually give you more power because with a little respect and appreciation your husband will be willing to walk through fire for you. Can't recommend it enough. |
This book should be on the national curriculum
| Customer Rating: | This is an excellent 'how to' book, which asks some pretty direct questions, and has a bold take on our contemporary culture - in other words she has not much positive to say about modern day feminist attitudes, that blame everyone except the person who is responsible, yourself!
She gives many tips and hints on what to do to take responsibility for the situation and how to improve it.
Much of what she writes seems like common sense, only, as we know, common sense is not that common!
I hope there will soon be a similar book for care and feeding of wives too.
Well worth it. Go buy it! |
The Ultimate Guide To Marriage
| Customer Rating: | This book is a revelation - ALL women should read this whatever their circumstances. Feminists, at first glance, may baulk at the notion of this book. However, this book tells a few home truths about both genders and would be useful for anyone who has or had relationship problems.
The book is really easy to read, with lots of real-life examples, and is worth more than its weight in gold!!! |
Insightful, straightforward and very valuable!
| Customer Rating: | | First of all, I listen Dr. Laura’s radio show only from time to time so I am not her “fan”. This book is actually written for women who chose to marry for men they love and respect. The author does NOT encourage men or women to stay in relationships with abuse issues! Moreover, it is written for women who really want to make their marriage a successful one. You probably know that every second marriage in the USA FAILS! That’s why as a happily married woman and a Ph. D. in Sexuality I consider this book to be a must read for its targeted audience. I was amazed to see how perfectly aware of men’s basic needs and psychology is Dr. Laura. The major piece of advice is to love, respect and take care of your husband! I do believe that this is the bare minimum of every successful relationship! Even today men’s life is still considered a lot less valuable, although good men and especially good husbands do their very best, challenge and push themselves to the maximum for US and our children and it’s no surprise that they die with tens of thousands from heart attack and other stress related diseases! That’s why I want to support 100% the author that men have proven starting from the Stone Age till nowadays that they at least deserve our respect, care and appreciation! Of course, this does NOT mean that YOU have to play the role of a wife-doormat! Dr. Laura didn't leave her career and job in order to be a housewife? That's why the book is more about PRIORITIES! You may stay all day at home and still your husband to be very dissatisfied with you. It could be exactly the opposite. It is up to YOU how much you invest in your “relationship bank account”. I think that many people have misunderstood Dr. Laura's advice on the common issue- the husband wants to have sex but she doesn’t want because she is tired, not in a mood, etc” I agree with the author that sex has a great importance for men and if you reject an intercourse they will feel as if you reject THEM! If you want to be a great wife you must NEVER allow this to happen. You may reject the intercourse but NOT and HIM! That’s the trick. In conclusion, I believe that this book has a lot to offer to women in the real non-feministic sense of this word. Allow me to strongly recommend you in addition the also bestseller “Scientifically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex” by Alan Ritz because it has delivered great value and results to my marriage and all of my clients. I dare say that both books can dramatically improve your marriage for better! Marilyn R. Barry Ph. D. in Sexuality |
