Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

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 incredible 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—with real-life examples and real-life solutions—how to wield that power to attain all the sexual pleasure, intimacy, love, joy, and peace you want in your life.

Dr. Laura's simple principles have changed the lives of millions. Now they can change yours.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don’t buy this book
By Amazon Customer on December 27, 2018
This author focuses on taking responsibility for your own side of your unhappy marriage which is important. However, the remedies she proposes are outrageous. She demands that every woman quits any activity that gets in the way of your husband feeling satisfied (especially sexually) in a marriage - including work. Too tired after a day of work to have sex? Have sex anyway! Then quit your job because it’s less important than your husband’s frequent ejaculation.

And the double standards:
She trash talks a wife who wants to take a vacation without her husband but she’s got a whole chapter titled “Guy Time” that starts out with a quote from a man discussing a 3 week hunting trip

A woman who doesn’t make 3 balanced meals a day for her husband is called “disrespectful and disdainful” but a husband that didn’t get his wife anything for Mother’s Day just needs more appreciation
