It's a good book, too.
Finding women who are interested enough to read it and take Dr. Laura's advice is another matter, however.
All the arguments I've seen, pro and con, about marriage leave out the most important item, in my estimation. Marriage is instituted by God and it is important to Him because it is part of His own image that he has entrusted to mankind.
We humans muck it up at our own peril!
Re: Dr Laura's book...
I bought the book for my soon-to-be ex, it was one of the direct causes for the split-up. She found it, threw it away and then claimed I had accused her of stealing when I asked what had happened to it. She was a big fan of Dr. L until her advice cut against her. In my case, her own version of "God" caused a lot of the problems.
Oh I think there are plenty of women out there reading it and following the advice. And even though my marriage ended in a nasty bitter divorce I have used the suggestions in her book to finally let my ex husband where I failed in our relationship...It has made a huge difference in how we now communicate with each other and has certainly opened my eyes to what I need to do if I should ever be blessed enough to marry again
