Dear Dr. Laura:
My husband and I met each other in middle school, but didn't date until after high school. Having been friends all those years helped solidify our relationship and we fell in love. We married when we were both 22 and the first year was difficult, because neither of us really knew what our roles were as husband and wife. My mom gave me "
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands," and I immediately understood what I was lacking. I wish I could shout at the top of a mountain for all wives to read your book! My husband and I both came from fatherless families, so following your guidelines really helped both of us. It worked like magic!
We're now 30 years old, and I still love to make him happy. I throw my arms around him when he comes home from a long day of work, and I provide a peaceful, restful home for him. He always tells me how he LOVES being home too - which is one of the best compliments a wife can receive.
I think you'd be proud of the loving environment we've both created for our 15 month old daughter. Thank you for giving me guidance and direction for my marriage. I will never stop caring and feeding him, and he has told me he'd swim through shark-infested waters to bring me a glass of lemonade.
Queenie
