These guys completely miss the point with Dr. Laura. I am sure they never listen to her.
Dr. Laura has consistently stated that both men and women have responsibilities in marriage. That many people either are unaware of these or unwilling to live up to them results in many unhappy marriages. She consistently brings everything back to what I would consider a traditional view of marriage that requires both to sacrifice for the other’s happiness.
This may have been the wrong time to bring it up but this is her consistent message and she always comes back to it.
Well, it's certainly not the best example. If you look at Spitzer's public career, it's obvious that he's a real creep. No matter what his wife is like, he's still a creep.
I don't disagree with the idea that both spouses have responsibilities in marriage. However, from reading Dr. Laura's books, I have gained the impression that she has a low view of both men and women, and I find this limits the value of her advice.
Sometimes I just can't resist the "train wreck" stories, though. I read celebrity gossip articles, too!
