I'm 2 years into my marriage and we're very happily married. I love my husband so much and truly need him by my side for the rest of my life ❤️. I'm so excited to have found this channel so I can consciously work on staying as content together as possible. I love the idea of asking yourself each day "How can I make sure he's happy to be alive and married to me?" - it's so true that you can CREATE these little moments that make your marriage sweeter.
I used to see Dr. Laura’s books in the libraries and stores or hear her on the radio and would always roll my eyes at her suggestions. Recently I stumbled on her book , laughed at the title and said “ let me see what this is all about “. It took me weeks to begin reading it. At first I was defensive, then my eyes were opened. I have applied many of the principles I learned in the book and my husband and marriage have changed dramatically in just a months time. I plan on reading more of her books. She truly made a difference. In 26 years of marriage, I’ve never felt closer to my husband.
Many women treat their husbands as if they are a problem needs fixing. How close would you want to be with someone who is constantly telling you that you aren’t good enough??
Same. I could have written this myself. I am so grateful I came across this book again and so grateful for Dr. Laura. I feel her words of wisdom is needed more now than ever.
I just discovered this lady and I bought ALL her books! Proper care and feeding of husbands is the best book ever wrote! EVERY woman on earth needs this book!
Thank you for writing this book! ♥️ I bought this book after seeing a book review and it was exactly what I needed. I have been married for 8 years, going on 9 and we have been in a rough patch. As a wife, I have been mistreating my husband. This book was the "matter of fact, no nonsense correction" I needed. There were times where I felt my ego getting offended, but I got through it I value doing what's right and I want to succeed in my marriage.
You saved my marriage. Well, reading The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands did, anyway. Having small children put a big strain, as well as having a special needs child. I just didn't understand his needs or how he thought about, well, anything. Her book kept it simple, and her advice helped us turn it around. My husband was so grateful, and he wholeheartedly agreed with Dr. Laura about men!! Im so happy to have found her again. God Bless her and her endeavors to get women to stop being selfish putzes, and honor the covenant of marriage, properly.
Eliza, it would be wonderful to have you and your husband call in and share with my listeners your experience!! 1-800-Dr-Laura / 1-800-375-2872 (Monday through Friday) from 2p - 5p ET.
Boy oh boy how I have missed you! Just found you on CZcams. Listened to your radio program every day decades ago in LA and met you and Derek when he was a young boy. An unexpected thrill! Good to see you looking so well and still as strong and honest as ever. Bless you...
Welcome back! Plenty more of “me” daily on (((SiriusXM))) Triumph ch 111 and the Call of the Day Podcast via Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast app!
Hi Dr. Laura. Growing up, my mother would be listening to your radio show when she picked me up from school. We both enjoyed doing so very much. I am 29 years old now and married my lovely wife in May. She is beautiful, caring, but most of all, a good person with good values, which is why I married her. It’s so difficult to find that these days! Anyway, we started living together for the first time when we wed. It hasn’t been easy. She thinks she’s my mother, and sets up a bunch of house rules (that I honestly try to follow) of which the slightest breach will send her into hysterical rants. I love her dearly but it would really make a difference in our marriage if she wasn’t so up tight. Watching this video gave me the idea of buying your book as a gift for her. Hopefully it can help us. She’s not the type of modern wise woman who would scoff and think she has nothing to learn from someone like you. Thank you for the pleasant wisdom I remember bonding over with my mother so many years ago. -Manuel
Hello, I need help… I am just like your wife… I am a good woman with good values… I am a stay at home mom with two kids and I am married to a wonderful man. I do have flaws… my biggest flaw is that I nag my husband once or twice a day about something he did wrong… “Honey you got the wrong yogurt again you have to go back out or else the kids wanna have their snack“… “Honey why can’t you just put your clothes inside the hamper instead of on the floor next to it, I work so hard to keep this house clean and when you do stuff like that it feels like a slap in the face“… It won’t be a long rant like I used to do years ago, but I still do make a quick nagging comment… I don’t think I’m being unreasonable, and I feel like I do have the right to say when something is being done incorrectly or if he’s doing something that bothers me… I realize that I need to do less of this, and I would love to never do this again... But I am human and I am not perfect either. I don’t scream at him when I say these things and I’m not being disrespectful, so part of me wishes that he could just accept me the way I am and understand that I’m trying to be better every single day. He says that he’s trying to be more accepting of me and he does realize that I’ve gotten much better over the years, however because of my nagging he tends to shut down… He doesn’t hug me or have fun with me or talk with me as much as I need… I am not a needy person I only need 5 or 10 minutes a day where he shows me some affection… A hug, asking me how my day was, telling me a funny story, or simply just listening to my funny stories and saying something back to me… I feel like I’m always the one initiating hugs and kisses and conversations and it’s starting to be very difficult… I know he loves me but he is too preoccupied with work, kids, doing construction on our house to have the mental capacity to give me any attention. However he doesn’t seem to realize that the most important part in all of those things is me and our marriage… If our relationship is not good then there is no need for him to work as hard as he is, there’s no need to do a house construction, the children would also suffer… The most important part is our marriage and he doesn’t seem to get that… I tried telling him for years now but he hasn’t changed, if anything it might’ve gotten worse.
@@kendals3833 Hi Kendal, if you're not asking unreasonable things from him you shouldn't feel bad about it. Maybe the kids can eat whatever yogurt was bought, but I don't think the rest is unreasonable. I sometimes leave clothes around the house and know perfectly well I shouldn't. Sometimes you're just tired, but I try to be better about that. These are normal little problems in marriage I guess. But if you feel this way, tell him exactly what you've written out here. Try to do so in a loving way. Maybe surprise him every now and then, take care of yourself and him. And try to see the glass half full, marriage is never perfect. Hope this helps.
@@peruanopr1 Thanks so much... I appreciate it... Also, I wish my kids would just eat whatever yogurt we bought... They are small and very stubborn...LOL. We will keep doing our best... I wish you well as well
Glad to see Dr. Laura is still on the air, so to speak. I remember my mom listening to her show in the heyday of talk radio 30 years ago and listening to her myself, occasionally, 20 years ago. Won’t forget her admonishing callers for “shacking up!” In an era of perpetually gray morality, Dr. Laura will always stand in stark contrast, and the people of America - the average Joe and Jill - tend to side with her!
I was married to a controlling and abusive person and I kept going back and forth for years and my parents started playing your show on the radio every time I visited and i heard lots of great advice. I found out years later they did that on purpose! 😂 You helped me seek counseling and get free. Now i am happily married to a good man! Not perfect but neither am i and i followed your advice ( i checked out your book from the library) and it made my marriage very sweet and enjoyable. What a difference. The other person it didn't matter what I did. And it was constantly like walking on eggshells wondering what will set him off. Now im enjoying my husband who is so easy to please! Praying for everyone to be blessed!
This book changed my life! Thank you! I also read the care and keeping of a marriage too. I screwed up so much because I was so ignorant of how to treat my man. God bless you for helping me see when one finger pointed at him three more pointed back to me. I go back and reread it periodically just to keep me on track. ❤
I discovered you a couple years ago and everything you say is just so simple and it just makes sense. I have read every book and wish you were still on the air!! Ugh
Dr Laura, I’ve been listening to you on and off since childhood, back when you were on KFI. You are amazing and such a blessing to so many households. Love you! 😊🙏
Yep - every time I try to discuss my 15 years sexless marriage, I am accused of only wanting sex and that's because I am a cluster B personality disorder narcissist. I don't get a kiss for 8 years and I am the narcissist.
I read this book. I practiced this book. I continued to practice it once we got married. But he became hostile and selfish and hateful. I am so confused. 😢 I still put effort into doing these things, but it’ll get me nothing but contempt. 😿 I even worked hard to do it while I was doing 12-13 hour days of nursing school. I put him first and dropped classes in school to give him more of my time and affection. He got worse. I really wanted a great marriage. But how do you have a great marriage with someone who is so shut down, depressed, and hopeless and takes out his stress on you? I’m really looking for answers. I don’t know if I don’t want to lose him or just don’t want to lose at marriage. But there was a sweet guy there before he asked for marriage.
@a a romero I'm sorry you didn't understand the punchline. It's husbands who need to say "Yes, dear" to their wives. Next time I suggest you watch the video before you comment. 🙂

Yes!
“Yes, dear.” Straight savage, and honest.
THANK YOU! about time someone told the truth about how women misunderstand men
My coworker just shared her with me yesterday and I am just in awe of Dr. Laura 💯

I READ THIS IN BARNES AND NOBLE IN ON SITTING WITH MY NEAD BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. I LOVE THIS WOMAN
I remember when that book came out! I've been a listener since Dr. Laura was on the air on KFI AM 640.
More stimulating talk radio

I discovered her a few years ago on XM and did the same. I so wish I had this woman in my life years ago. Seriously.
Laura S. I used to listen to you on talk radio! For about 8 years GREAT to see your Videos!! Thank you!!🗝️
Wow, thank you!
This book changed my life! Thank you! I also read the care and keeping of a marriage too. I screwed up so much because I was so ignorant of how to treat my man.

So happy to hear this!!
I just discovered u tonight Dr Laura on satellite radio and utube,thank you for understanding us men ….ur a great person 👍
You are so welcome
She's so right that men are so basic and it really takes a little effort to make them happy.
I discovered you a couple years ago and everything you say is just so simple and it just makes sense. I have read every book and wish you were still on the air!! Ugh
Dr Laura, I’ve been listening to you on and off since childhood, back when you were on KFI. You are amazing and such a blessing to so many households. Love you! 😊🙏
Wonderful!
You perfectly explain the definition of Hypergamy. Female nature.
Thank you, Dr. Laura for everything you do.
You are so welcome!
@@drlaura ❤
I started listening to you on SiriusXM 111. You’re very refreshing to listen to. I remember you early in your career 🌹
Welcome back!
Youre just so brilliant! For four years i listened to you almost every day on my 3 hour commute but now i miss you!
You should listen to my Call of the Day Podcast!!
3 hours commute? Omg...and I cry over an hour😭
Yep - every time I try to discuss my 15 years sexless marriage, I am accused of only wanting sex and that's because I am a cluster B personality disorder narcissist. I don't get a kiss for 8 years and I am the narcissist.
Leave NOW!!!!!
Thank you for your wisdom!
This book is sooo life giving to my marriage! 😊 thank you!
We love you in Canada!
...I was in high school in the 90's & my father use to listen to you in the car when we could get the Buffalo radio signal
Wow, thank you!
I read this book. I practiced this book. I continued to practice it once we got married. But he became hostile and selfish and hateful. I am so confused. 😢 I still put effort into doing these things, but it’ll get me nothing but contempt. 😿 I even worked hard to do it while I was doing 12-13 hour days of nursing school.

Loved Dr Laura on the am radio
Laura, you're great. I loved this video.
Thank you so much!
You are amazing 👏 Staying with the basics!
That's the plan!
You are a national treasure.
I love you Dr. Laura
Thank you!
Just bought this book on kindle
I just got my second copy!
Thats a fair callout, work in progress ok?!😅
Edit: But the Nardemic is furthest thing from nonsense my luv.
Women must say Yes dear? To everything? I am shocked 😳 how does keeping our opinions to ourselves make a healthy relationship?
@a a romero I'm sorry you didn't understand the punchline. It's husbands who need to say "Yes, dear" to their wives. Next time I suggest you watch the video before you comment. 🙂
@@drlaura I am searching for the dud hat 🤦🏻♀️ I stand corrected.
You boob...that's what she's saying we men need to say to our wives to keep them happy!
Having said that where's the incredulity over men not having opinions to share (even though I know that's not what Dr. Insight/Wisdom meant.
Hello
If as a husband I were to read this book should that be my reasonable expectation of how a wife should behave?
If you have both chosen wisely and she treats kindly, yes.
❤
Not sailing lessons?
Some women think that you insult men by calling them simple. These women wish men were like them
Too many modern women hate this. As well as divorced women who hate strong men
