Summary: Full of Good Common Sense
Review: Dr. Laura is arguably the most polarizing figure in media. She has millions of fans and followers, but there are also many around the country who won't get near her radio program and books because of her in-your-face approach and politics. If you're in that category, I suggest you ignore the fact that this is a Dr. Laura book and focus on the information within. Each chapter deals with a certain set of problem areas that nearly all couples come across, and Schlessinger's advice and comments are always rooted in clear thinking and principles. There are also interesting blurbs from callers who previously or currently are dealing with the subject matter at hand. You may not agree with her approach at times, but give this book an honest chance if you're a skeptic and see if you don't find that the printed pages are full of terrific help for your relationship. Devoted Schlessinger fans, of course, will swear by it.

Summary: Sad, but true
Review: Dr. Laura really hits home with this book. It deals with the sad truth about what has happened to relationships in our society. Doing whatever feels right for the momement at any cost to our children, our sexuality and friendships is unfortunately the norm. This book needs to be read by anyone in a relationship that needs strong, sound direction and would rather concentrate on making good decisions rather than stupid mistakes that may have irreversible consequences.

Summary: Tough Advise that Helps Couples
Review: I bought this book at Amazon.com for a friend who was struggling with a marriage and was raising two darling sons with a husband who was great. I sent this book to her and the two of them used it as a point of discussion. They are still married and said the book really helped them realize how important it is to hang in there and work out difficulties, especially if children are involved. Dr. Laura is tough to take sometimes but her advise is necessary. I bought a copy of the book for myself, too, just to remind me of what I have to do to keep my marriage lively. Good job, Dr. Laura. Keep nagging us.

Summary: She continues to teach us something!!!!!
Review: I don't agree with everything she says, but I have always learned something of value to me. So I began reading Dr. Laura's "How Could You Do That?" She re-enforced moral issues for me and started me re-evaluating several other issues. Having gotten good information from that book, I went on to read, "10 Stupid Things Women Do..." Low and behold my dating/relationship issues cleared up and I'm now on the path to marriage with a wonderful guy. So thinking I've resolved everything, I questioned what she new things she could tell me. Began skimming the book in a bookstore. Several chapters later, I realized I still have much to learn and she has a lot to teach. We get so caught up in ourselves, we stop thinking about the whole picture. A relationship is a group effort, made up of individuals, but it is a group. And it is bigger than it's parts. So when I get caught up in Pettiness (my perfectionism), Power Struggles (okay, yeah, I like to control situations), and Stupid Priorities (yes, I can say, "No." now) and look back on those chapters and get my head straight. I've already begun recommending it to my friends whenever they say..."I can't believe he/she just doesn't get it about X issue..." FOR THEM, not the person they're talking about!

Summary: Finallly, Someone got it right!!!
Review: I found Dr. Laura's book enlightening. Having been in a series of failed relationships I find Dr. Laura's book a big help in examining why some relationships don't work and an even bigger help making the relationship I have at the moment better.

Summary: Helping people to learn from past mistakes
Review: I have to say that this is not my usual read. I was pleasently suprised by this book. I guess like many of us I already know what the problem is !!!
But I was unable to find the proper tools to work through my rough spots. Basically I found this book to be a tool, enpowering me to take positive steps towards a healthier, happier place; with myself and my relationships. What do you have to lose? I promise it won't hurt....

Summary: Excellent Book for Couples!
Review: I just finished reading this book, and it is absolutely wonderful. I have worked doing pre-marital and marital counseling and she sums up the biggest mistakes that couple make in their relationships. Every problem I have encountered in dealing with couples, I have seen in the book, either in general or specifically. This book is so good, I am going to have it as "required" reading for all my pre-marital classes!
