Customer Reviews

Dr. Laura is #1

Both my husband and I enjoyed reading this book. It helps us communicate as well as remember how to appreciate one another and be more loving to one another. We have only been married two years but I know that this book will be a good reference in the years to come.

A "Must Have" book

What can I say? I LOVE Dr. Laura. She's been a huge guiding light in my life, and this book just adds to her wisdom. I hugely recommend this book.

Don't want to fight anymore??

Great book for strong women to read. Guys just need lots of attention and constant encouragement! They need to be reminded of the good old days when you worshiped the ground they walked on! Remember the days of dating and bring them back! Guys cheat for attention more than just sex! If you think this book is a joke than you probably don't have a very good marriage!

Good tool for those who want to use it

I have listened to Dr. Laura for years... I want my marriage to be strong and endure time. My spouse and I have had previous marriages and I want to learn what "I" can do different in order to make it my last. I am more then half way through the book now and it has made take a close look at my actions, attitude and the choices I make. It seems obvious once you start to read but it is difficult to look at ones self constructively... the book is a great tool for me to look at me and has given me insight

Vivre les differences!

My wife gave this book to me for my birthday (along with my favorite home-made double-fudge chocolate cake). I thought -- great -- another relationship book. Good bedtime reading if I want to go to sleep... But Chapter One just hooked me -- this is not another "Men Are From Mars" book that paints men and women as different alien races who can only understand each other from a purely academic point of view. Here are the differences men and women love about each other -- supporting why God made us different and encouraging us to celebrate the differences! This book gives support and hope to those of us guys who truly believe that when we stood in front of the minister and all our friends and family and exchanged solemn vows with our brides, we were making a lifetime commitment to be with someone for the rest of our lives, that we were going to travel a long road together and that it would be bumpy some times, as Dr. Laura calls it "the bridge over troubled waters" but that the voyage is worth it for ourselves and most importantly for our children. And that this consecrated commitment of love is a sacred thing that should be cherished, nourished and celebrated. So after I finished the book, I turned to my wife and asked her if she would be, as Dr. Laura says, "receptive to my amourous advances" in the future. She winked at me and said, "The key word is amourous." Guess I'll be buying her more flowers in the future.
