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.


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.


Except that’s not what the book says to do. You’re inventing content and then bashing your own invention.

My husband doesn't want me to mother him, and he can feed himself. He enjoys the money I make and the way it enhances our life. To each her own.

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


Yup, as an immigrant this is what I find very hard to understand in US. Everything is liberals vs conservatives or dems vs reps. All is black or white, no nuances. Both sides can have something good to bring at the table

Agree. I read it a long time ago and found it insightful. A lot of books are insightful. But yes, these days people only want to hear from those “on their team”, and if they disagree with someone they will discount everything they have to say.

OP here, I am not a troll. It is a serious book about relationships in marriage (with a funny catchy title)
