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.

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

If the men in your life are this way, you should probably consider moving.

I wish I had read this book many years ago, before I married the woman who is now my former wife, or soon thereafter. I would have asked my then fiancee to read it with me, discuss the contents, and make decisions accordingly. Depending on her responses, it would have either ended our engagement, or made for a wonderful marriage.
My ex-wife had bad attitudes toward me and men in general, a lack of comprehension and wrong thinking about me and men in general. This book could have spared me and her all that, and saved our marriage.
Men and women, do yourselves a favour and read this book even if you're already married. Discuss it, and practice the wisdom and experience revealed in it. If you're not yet married, it will either end your false relationship, which is based on a lack of understanding of how men and women think (but of course you both think you're fine), or make for a wonderful marriage.
If you both can't agree on the contents, and are unwilling to change your own selves and your wrong thinking about each other (rather than trying to change the other person), then DON'T get married to THAT person !
You both deserve a good marriage, not a divorce or dead marriage dragging on for years (like mine did).
Now I'm seeking re-marriage, and you can be SURE I will be discussing this book with ALL potential marriage partners. I owe this to myself and to them !
