Dr. Laura Schlessinger

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.

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.

The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands

They number in the millions and they are incredibly important to families and to our society, yet they are underappreciated, little respected, and even controversial. Who are they? They are the stay-at-home moms. These are women who know in their hearts that staying home to raise their children is the right choice for the whole family. Some do it from the outset of their marriages, while others make the difficult transition from career-driven women to homemakers. Either way, it is a choice that is incredibly rich and rewarding, not to mention challenging. Now Dr. Laura, building on principles developed during her long career as a licensed marriage and family therapist, provides a wealth of advice and support, as well as compassion and inspiration, to women as they navigate the wonders and struggles of being stay-at-home moms. Learn how: to hold your head high and deal with naysayers; to see the benefits of being home not only for your children but also for your marriage; to understand the changes you see in yourself; to realize that the sacrifices you endure now will make for lasting bonds and a stronger family, in addition to a more cohesive community. In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms is a special book, a profound and unique understanding of how important it is for mothers to raise their own children.

In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the incredibly popular and controversial psychotherapist who hosts a nationally syndicated, top-rated midday radio talk show. She has strong convictions and doesn't hesitate to voice them to callers. She urges women emphatically to lose a domineering jerk of a lover and pick one of the "good guys," to stay home and parent the babies they've made, and to follow the dream rather than some dreamboat. Above all, she exhorts women not to blame anybody or anything but themselves if they're unhappy and their lives seem a mess. 10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives uses real-world examples from Schlessinger's radio show and private practice to drive the message home. And the message is that our reticence to be bold and brave often makes us act like stupid, submissive victims. Once we muster the courage to take responsibility for our own problems and to tolerate the discomforts of risk, the possibilities for personal growth and joy are limitless. If you're looking for an all-approving hand to hold, you won't find it here. If you're prepared to take a clear-eyed look at your self-diminishing behavior and to make the move to a quality existence, there's no one better than Schlessinger to keep you honest and to cheer you on. One thing's for sure: You'll never look at your relationships, behaviors and decisions the same way after you've finished reading this book.

En la obra más desafiante que haya escrito hasta el momento, la Dra. Laura recuerda con urgencia a las mujeres que deben cuidar y tener contentos a sus esposos para garantizar su propia felicidad y la satisfacción que anhelan en su matrimonio. Las mujeres desean enamorarse, casarse y vivir felices por siempre. Sin embargo, la falta de respeto por los hombres, el desprecio por los valores, sentimientos y necesidades de los esposos se ha convertido, en muy poco tiempo, en la norma de las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres en los Estados Unidos. Estas dos actitudes se contraponen en formas poco afortunadas para crear desacuerdos y luchas en lo que podría ser una hermosa relación. Son incontables las mujeres que llaman a la Dra. Laura, insatisfechas con sus matrimonios y aparentemente incapaces de entender el increíble poder que tienen sobre sus hombres para crear el tipo de hogar que añoran. Ahora, en Cómo Cuidar y Tener Contento al Esposo, la Dra. Laura nos muestra -- mediante ejemplos y soluciones de la vida real -- cómo se puede ejercer ese poder para lograr el placer sexual, la intimidad, el amor, la felicidad y la paz que buscamos en la vida. Los sencillos principios de la Dra. Laura han cambiado las vidas de millones de mujeres y ahora pueden cambiar la suya.
