Dr. Laura's New Marriage Book

Dr. Laura Schlessinger's new book, The Proper Care & Feeding of Marriage, presents marriage tools that she says will make your marriage thrive no matter where it's been.

Important topics in this book include:

  • how to deal with and appreciate the differences between men and women
  • how we mess up our own marriages
  • the nature of married life
  • how to avoid taking each other for granted
  • how to communicate, and keep your words from hurting people
  • important things to know about sex
  • spotting competitiveness in your marriage
  • bringing a marriage back from the brink of divorce, and
  • giving your spouse the gifts of interest, love, and compassion

Those not familiar with Dr. Laura's style will find her very conversational and sometimes brash. Her advice cuts, painfully at times, through much of the selfishness that is modern society. You may or may not agree with all of her suggestions, but you will have plenty to think about by the time you finish her book.

Held to be the sequel to the best-selling The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands, The Proper Care & Feeding of Marriage was published in New York by HarperCollins (2007).
