The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands: What Successful Marriage is Really About

I haven’t even finished the book yet but this was the book I’ve been looking for. I was reading Laura Doyle Empowered Wife book and it seems she actually stole her concepts from this book and author and sugar coated them.Dr Laura’s no BS approach is not only refreshing but it’s truthful and realistic. It’s encouraging without the fluff. Sometimes us wives need to be called out for our part that we play and she does just that. I love having this new perspective and it’s drastically changed my mood, attitude and as a result my home and relationship. I’m actually highlighting through it to come back to chapters.This is a book I would give to friends, family planning to get married and I’d gift it to my daughter when she gets married one day. My only regret was not getting it sooner. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a book on marriage aimed at women and you’re ready to do the work.

11 Dec 2019I wish I had read this book many years ago, before I married the woman who is now my former wife, or soon thereafter. I would have asked my then fiancee to read it with me, discuss the contents, and make decisions accordingly. Depending on her responses, it would have either ended our engagement, or made for a wonderful marriage.My ex-wife had bad attitudes toward me and men in general, a lack of comprehension and wrong thinking about me and men in general. This book could have spared me and her all that, and saved our marriage.Men and women, do yourselves a favour and read this book even if you're already married. Discuss it, and practice the wisdom and experience revealed in it. If you're not yet married, it will either end your false relationship, which is based on a lack of understanding of how men and women think (but of course you both think you're fine), or make for a wonderful marriage.If you both can't agree on the contents, and are unwilling to change your own selves and your wrong thinking about each other (rather than trying to change the other person), then DON'T get married to THAT person !You both deserve a good marriage, not a divorce or dead marriage dragging on for years (like mine did).Now I'm seeking re-marriage, and you can be SURE I will be discussing this book with ALL potential marriage partners. I owe this to myself and to them !

Eine Anleitung für das Führen einer glücklichen Ehe auf Grundlage von Dr. Schlessingers Erfahrungen als Host einer Radiosendung/Paarberaterin - ganz entgegen des aktuellen „feministischen Mainstreams“.Wer ehrlich zu sich ist, wird vermutlich einige Tipps und Denkanstöße finden, wie das eigene Verhalten neu ausgerichtet werden kann, um die eigene Beziehung harmonischer und männerfreundlicher zu gestalten. Da hauptsächlich anhand Anekdoten und Leserzuschriften argumentiert wird, sollte man diese natürlich mit einer Prise Salz genießen. (Die Idee eines Mannes: Wenn die Frau keine Lust auf „Intimität“ hat, soll sie ihrem Mann sagen, er dürfe in die Vollen gehen und ohne Umschweife zur Sache kommen - dabei aber durchgängig „enthusiastisch“ sein - ist „bestenfalls“ ein Schauspiel für den Mann, schlimmstenfalls kommt es zu Verletzungen/Grenzüberschreitungen).Insgesamt ein nettes Leseerlebnis mit inhaltlich interessanten Prinzipien, über die Frau mal nachdenken kann. Wer sich für Umfassenderes, weniger auf Anekdoten Basiertes zum selben Thema interessiert, dem kann ich „Fascinating Womanhood“ and Herz legen - ein Klassiker.

This book has changed my way of thinking and opened my eyes. I have been married for almost three years, and very happily too (although not without disagreements, I hasten to add). However, by reading this book, I found that there are ways that I can improve my marriage too. I cook, I clean and generally try to be a good wife. However, I can see that with familiarity you can begin to take each other for granted, try to get your own way all the time, not make the effort and forget to impress or dress up for your husband. It showed me that feeding your husband is much more than having food ready for him each evening. It is about making HIM your No.1 priority !!!!As another reader said, the book is worth its weight in gold and I couldn't agree more. I will now be passing this book to my mother, as I often find my father confiding in me about `lack of respect' from my mother. I have been witness to my mother always raking up the past, dangling past failures in front of my father, constantly complaining and undermining him by calling him `stupid' at every opportunity. Never the other way around. I hope it does something to mend her ways after more than 30 years of marriage.

Great book ! My heart was open to receive this information and that’s the most important thing . A year ago , I wouldn’t have been receptive but thanks to God - I’m free ! Free to serve God and respect my husband
