Dr. Laura:
"The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" opened my eyes to the way I treated my husband and brought us back to the days when we dated - all in less than a week!Your book described me perfectly - I had time for the kids, my parents, hobbies, sleep--everyone and everything but my husband. He was in the way of my selfish wants!
As a result, he was frustrated and had become a grouchy curmudgeon. Our adult children noticed how irascible he had become. He slept a lot and ignored work around the house. Yet, even after all my neglect, he stayed by my side. When I heard you recommend your book to a caller, I immediately bought it myself and started implementing some of your suggestions. I cooked for him, was intimate with him, and showed interest in his opinions. The result has been transformational.
We spent the weekend working on projects, going to a movie, fishing, and laughing together. Without saying a word, he cleaned up the yard, took out the garbage and completed several other chores. He's singing and whistling and can't keep his hands off me (in a good way!). Thank you for repeating yourself so that stubborn listeners like me can eventually make the connection and change.
