Publisher's summary

In her most provocative book yet, Dr. Laura urgently reminds women that to take proper care of their husbands is to ensure themselves the happiness and satisfaction they yearn for in marriage.

Women want to be in love, get married, and live happily ever after. Yet disrespect for men and disregard for the value, feelings, and needs of husbands has fast become the standard for male-female relations in America. Those two attitudes clash in unfortunate ways to create struggle and strife in what could be a beautiful relationship.

Countless women call Dr. Laura, unhappy in their marriages and seemingly at a loss to understand the power they have over their men to create the kind of home life they yearn for. Now, in The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, Dr. Laura shows you how to wield that power to attain all the sexual pleasure, intimacy, love, joy, and peace you want in your life. With real-life examples, and real-life solutions, Dr. Laura's simple principles have changed the lives of millions. Now they can change yours.

Critic reviews

"Like many of the author's best-selling books and audios, this is a groundbreaking and refreshing lesson. Schlessinger's own friendly and youthful narration makes the presentation a joy to hear in spite of the jarring nature of her message." (AudioFile)

Wish I would've listened to this book 24 years ago

Then maybe my ex-husbands addictions wouldn't have taken his life over and caused our divorce and separation of our beautiful family. But I'll know how to do it next time. There's always hope for a brighter future when we can look at our past and learn from it. Thanks Dr Laura 💟

Bull's Eye

This book wraps some eloquent words around a lot of things my wife and I have grappled in the dark about for over 25 years. I've read a lot of books on marriage over the years, and this one may just be the best. Women have significant power in relationships, but not when they use that power in direct pursuit of many of today's cultural trends.

I have a whole new point of view

I appreciated this book so much. I have been a wife for 26 years, and know many things about the man's brain. But I really liked learning how they think and feel and adding to my knowledge. Thank you for teaching me things I thought I already knew and was so wrong about. I have improved my relationship with him because of this knowledge.

Wonderful & Uncomplicated!!

This book is common sense.. what all of us women inherently know about men (and ourselves), but have been led astray by the modern feminist movement. It's refreshing and hopeful to have a voice that champions conservative values for women that truly want to have fulfillment in their marriage and family.
