I need a few opinions here...namely women. (no offense)

I have been reading this new book by Dr. Laura -
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands.

I personally like her..though I may not agree with EVERYTHING she says, she makes a lot of sense with relationships and such.

Namely, men are simple..it is the women that make them complicated. Such drama they create for nothing.

Anyway, here's the question.

Would it be improper for a husband to give this book as a gift to his wife?? From a woman's point of view, would you be hurt or angry? or welcomly open the opportunity to explore other ideas about relationships and how to handle them?

And for that matter...if you DIDN'T like Dr. Laura in the first place, would you even give the book a chance if you received it??

There are tons of bad gifts - I've been the recipient of many and have probably given many myself. :P

As far as a husband giving his wife this book, I suppose it all depends on the spirit in which it was given. I probably would have laughed and donated to the library...where LL would be able to read it with her library card.

re: new books

we read EVERYTHING Dan Brown wrote, from the first one
"Digital Fortress" to the last one you gave us and here is my review:

Demon and Angels - 10, similar to DVCode
Deception Point -9
Digital Fortress - 7

according to Mike, you and him will stop on your way to Noah's wedding for couple days,
if not, we get together for SURE week after we get back from Amsterdam to go to:
Orlando and West Coast (Florida)

I'll pass Sue you were looking for her and PLEASE,
don't corrupt her mind!
;_)))

I am not sure what is in this book from Dr. Laura - but Katie have been being REAL nice to me lately...

I even got an offer for a massage... which is a great first step.

Maybe by our 10th Anniversary I will get the actual massage!

:P

Yeah, I got Digitl Fortress and wasn't as blown away by it as the DaVinci Code, but I will have to look out for the other two.


Speaking of great books, ever read anything by Wally Lamb??
He only has two books, but I really really loved

I know this much is True. Ever read it??


And for my darling husband....
didn't your mother teach you that some things were worth waiting for???

Your "massage" is on it's way...but I wouldn't get married to the idea of it being a physcial massage....couldn't I just massage your mind a bit.
that's MUCH easier for me! ;-)

As for the Dr. Laura book itself...

This is not a book TELLING you how to run a happy marriage.

This is simply a book opening your eyes to the little things that SUSTAIN a happy marriage.

In (my humble opinion), many women forget that they took vows to the man that will be there for the rest of her life. They should prioritize him and their children at the top of the list.

Unfortunately many women get caught up in everyday life and no longer have time for the man. TO please him, or herself for that matter.

For me, I am reading this book not cause I want to fix a broken marriage, but because I want to continue with the awesome one that makes me happy and grateful everyday.

Why push that to the back burner and let it crumble..that is my support and foundation for how I plan to succeed in the rest of my life.

Without happiness at home, misery will soon take over.

I wondered if this was a compliment or an insult. Lol- too much!

Dr. Laura remind me of John Gray (Men are from Mars). I’m not sure these methods can apply to all couples. I full heartily agree that both parties need to be good to each other. That you both need to pay attention to each other. The problem has always been that men and women speak two different languages. They just see things differently. Doesn’t make it bad just complicated.

I enjoy being spoiled. Not just a little but a lot. I treat my lover well in other ways and equally spoil them. It’s all about the dynamic for me. Doesn’t matter so much who does what but that we have a nice energy happening. Chemistry is the key. If I don’t have that then I have nothing else. All the massage and money won’t mean nothing.

Katie sweetheart!! You got mail.

IMHO, gifts from man to wife should generally not include industrial-type things with a power cord (like table saws, vacumn cleanners, and new monitors for computers you personally never use).

Books written for women about how to improve their relationship with men should be read BY THE MAN FIRST before they give the book as a gift to their woman. (As proof they put some thought into this gift.) I know most men just love those kinds of relationship-self-help books. hahahahahaaa

I can't wait to get you back to Florida. It's been tooooo long!

All I have to say is that Dr. Phil is a sell out!!

Dr. laura is much better!

We need to line up a cage fight between those 2!

hey LL, long time.

I agree with this but don't most men flip through it, see if it benefits them and then pass it along?

Dear Dianna:

Hey!! It's good to say hello again. I've had a crazy new year so far, the best of times and the worst of times, but the dust is settling, and I'm looking forward to being out of my self-imposed exile and back in the swing of things.

In the end, the only person you can change in a relationship is yourself. If a guy is thinking his wife should read a book to improve the marriage, the better course of action would be for him to buy books for himself, and work on his own shit.

Scanning a book for spousal goodies you might get from your wife and then giving her the book so she can work on "herself", is the kind of drive-by, self-help referral I would personally hate.

Or even read/explore something together

But you're right - if you want a change in your relationship, buying the other one a book ain't gonna cut it. I would suspect that any changes brought about that route would be temporary

Peaches,

If I still had it, I'd give you the table saw my ex gave "me" for Christmas one year. You would appreciate it more than I did.

Nice to see you and happy to see that you are. I would sure love to see you again. Page me some time. I'd love to hear what you're up to.
