I find her hypocritical and repulsive from what I've read about her but that being said, there are some good ideas in her book. Having a strong relationship needs more than having good careers, both spouses have to have continued dedication.

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.
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.
But you need to read something before writing the book review or your opinion about the content of the book
No, if a book is widely excerpted in the media then it’s enough to get a flavor to know what it’s about. I don’t need to join a cult to know what’s wrong with it.
“But how do you know if you don’t try?” No thanks!
I think you would sell more copies if you tried a site with a lot of women who approach marriage like it’s their job.
Holy crap. You are exactly what’s wrong with this country.
Hey, at least I don’t have to make my money like a Russian troll… posting on purposefully divisive topics to stir up tension and discontent.
I think you misjudged your audience.

Honestly many posts in this section of the forum are stemming from ‘my husband doesn’t do x or y for me’ or ‘I cannot stand this or that about my husband’. At least for me, this book helped to be a bit less self centered in my marriage and more grateful

She forked a married man, so you should try it too. It might improve your marriage even more.

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

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.

Melania must've read this book when she married Donnie.

OMG no thanks.
well, both partners wanting to keep working on their relationships is good advise. Half of the relationships end because partners start taking each other for granted.
Agree

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

Some of us don’t need to read a book to make our husbands happy.
