Ten Stupid Things Couples Do To Mess Up Their Relationships audiobook

Amen, Dr. Laura! I absolutely love how crass she is and how she tells it like it is. The sanctity of marriage has fallen so low that it saddens me, and the commercialization and general promotion of pre-marital sex scares me as a young woman. I don't get into these relationships with guys because I fear all these things Dr. Laura points out as issues in the world today. Hopefully, if more people read this, we'll all see the light sooner or later and make changes so we can all find love some day. If you are offended by the things she says, maybe it's time to take a step back and really look at your life...see what you could change to make it better. Because the truth hurts, people. Always has, and always will.

A very colorful read! It's a compilation of letters, calls, emails, and personal encounters interspersed with her advice. She's a pro-family, reformed feminist, who has drawn upon her years as a therapist and radio show host to bring to light where she believes our society is failing us, and the subsequent impact on our relationships. I was shocked by some stories, saw myself in others, and often felt very appreciative of my life when measured against the relationship issues that could be present. Very good guidelines for a happy and healthy relationship. Did I mention her writing style encompasses plenty of sarcastic humor?

I know that Dr. Laura is not everyone's cup of tea, but she has some REALLY good advice in this book. She is a no-nonsense kind of lady who is good at challenging many common thoughts and opinions about relationships. She can be REALLY bitchy sometimes and kind of preachy, but in general, I think that she gives really sound advice. She makes me take a step back and look at the "me" part of the equation when it comes to my relationship and what I can improve and polish. And I think that's a good thing.

Dr Laura has very high morals and she doesn't excuse any of the imoral behaviors that society is accepting. I loved this book! There are lots of stories and comments about others couples problems in relationships, and it made me appreciate what a good marriage I have, but it also showed great examples of how I can contribute more in my relationship with my husband.

I read this book a long time ago, and loved it! There were a lot of helpful tips in here. I honestly can't think of any right now, and I lent it out to someone like 3 years ago and have yet to get it back! There is some of her usual woman bashing in this book, but if I remember correctly it isn't too bad. Its manageable, and some of it deserved.

After reading this book it made me look at myself in a different light. It made me realize that I had a lot of growing to do and to see some of the areas where I have grown. Anyone in a relationship, just exited a relationship, or inspiring to be in a long lasting relationship should read this book, study it, and learn from it.

The five stages of marriage:1- falling in love.2- discovering the foibles and faults etc.3- deciding what to do about this new knowledge.4- ( if you reach it) is the hard work involved in getting through the realities of stage 2.5- is the glorious falling in love at a whole new level of intimacy and commitment.

This book is organized into mistakes to avoid in order to have a healthy relationship. These mistakes mostly stem from immaturity, insecurity, and being in too much pain. Things like secrets, egotism, pettiness, power, misplaced priorities, are some of what she covers. Dr. Laura is entertaining to listen to, although she does get rather alarmist sometimes.

It was a good book with some valid points. She does tell it like it is--very blunt. I listened to the audio CDs so at times she seems to be just quickly reading the script. But overall I did enjoy it.

A good set of reminders to keep your relationship healthy. Laura advocates rules like abstinence before marriage and fidelity afterwards. She also encourages couples to know each other for a year before marriage. Oops!

Amazingly insightful read... Use this knowledge and experience of others to make your relationship better. It's a deep understanding of love and relationships and what to not do to lose it, if it is for you. Enjoy!

I like Dr Laura because she's got traditional values and is not afraid to offend people who don't. I always learn a lot from her books.
