A broken clock is right twice a day. Mussolini was right about some things too. But there is nothing good that Dr. Laura offers that can’t be obtained from a source that doesn’t also have a bunch of terrible and even damaging advice.

Please give us just one example of her terrible or "even damaging" advice. Not looking for "a bunch." Just one factual item will do.

LMGTFY

Go on Amazon, lots of one star reviews and excerpts for your browsing pleasure.

Exactly. Look, I’m all for pleasing my husband, and I love doing it often. But the stupidity of thinking that the only way to have a great sex life is to give up your career, or that you need to give up having a voice in the relationship to make someone happy, is just beyond. Books like this teach cult thinking — the idea that sacrificing parts of your self is going to make you happy can only be sold to the very insecure and desperate.

I know you’re smarter than this, ladies.

It is very obvious that you didn’t read the book

I don’t need a book to make my husband happy. Sorry if you do.

It's a wonder how humans survived this far without books on how to live, be married, be parents.

And why are all the "self help" books on marriage geared towards women? Where are the books for men to read about how to be a better husband, father? Even if they exist, it's certainly not as popular or as plentiful as those books geared towards women. A lot of men get their training for sex from porn. Where do they get any dad/husband training from?

Statistically speaking, women are more likely to be the spouse filing for a divorce or to be unhappy about marriage

If you can get over who is saying it, there is some good advice in there.

OP here, I originally bought the book without knowing anything about the author (I am not from US originally) and because of the funny title. I found the book helpful, I don’t care if the person who wrote it is conservative or has an odd personal life. People can be a***e and still give good advise in certain fields

Most women hate men on here so you won’t find them liking the advice.

I think most of those books in general are silly, but I have a very traditional marriage. I enjoy taking care of my husband pleasing and that includes cooking for him, sex usually whenever he wants, and alone time for him and us as a couple. In return he is a provider for our family. This doesn’t mean he is lazy - he does a lot of cooking, cleaning, and helping raise our kids, but I do think we have more defined roles and it works for us. He supports and respects me and I do the same for him. You would be surprised how easy supportive and loving a husband is when he has a wife who appreciates and respects him.

Many of the women on here hate men and not respect their husbands. No way they would take any of this advice because that would mean less posting about how much they hate their husband and want a divorce.

hahaha. My dad once bought this book for my mom. I think it was supposed to be a joke. It started a HUGE fight.

You're either a troll or a very weak woman.

So wanting to happy a more traditional marriage is means she’s “ weak”. I thought you feminists were for all women, or is that you’re only for women who share your same viewpoint? I see some many feminists who put down women who choose to be a SAHM or have a more traditional marriage, while yelling they’re for women. Be honest, you’re only for women who share your same hatred and contempt for men, and hate women who want a traditional marriage.

Maybe if you women read the book and took some of the advice you wouldn’t be on here so often complaining about your miserable marriages and how you hate your husband.

Everybody has some good points but yes liberals won't acknowledge anything good in conservative values and vice versa. No surprise in that.

Didn't she have a 9 year affair with a married man that broke his marriage? Is this a "good conservative value"? Same with the gubernatorial candidate from OR who is married and a swinger.

Well, so did Einstein with her cousin while he was married from 1912-1919 and married her right after his divorce, did't take part in raising his children. That never stopped anyone from acknowledging his work. Trump and Clinton weren't actually into fidelity either.
