FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Leslie Cohen Director of Publicity 212.207.7490 leslie.cohen@harpercollins.com Mike Paul President MGP & Associates PR 212-595-8500 mpaul@mgppr.com THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE Dr. Laura Schlessinger Dr. Laura Schlessinger is the internationally renowned Marriage and Family Therapist famed for delivering candid, insightful wake-up calls and life-changing "aha!" moments in her books and on her radio talk show. Expanding on the themes of her earlier bestseller, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, she issues an empowering new message in THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE (HarperCollins Publishers; On Sale: January 2, 2007; $25.95; Hardcover), asserting that most problem marriages can be healed, as long as both partners are willing to examine their own behavior and commit to taking loving action. Husbands and wives must make the other feel special, adored, and treasured for the marriage to thrive, and Dr. Laura will help folks achieve this blessed, peaceful, and happy state. In her view, "the single, most horrible problem for marriages today is the lack of understanding, not only of what is need by a man in a woman, but also what is needed by a woman in a man." Dr. Laura believes that respecting and embracing the natural polarity between the sexes is the key to nurturing a lasting, loving bond. THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE reveals that happily married people view themselves as complementary, equally important and powerful members of a team with different roles and qualities, and they put ‘we' first! THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE is illustrated with transcripts of calls from listeners, letters and e-mails highlighting the frustrations plaguing today's married couples -- from small annoyances like nagging and nitpicking to potential catastrophes like bankruptcy and infidelity -- as well as testimonials from elated men and women who have benefited from Dr. Laura's advice. Partially due to the aftershocks of the feminist movement, which minimized the importance of caring for the home and the children, and the selfishness that has become so acceptable in our society, people have lost touch with the oneness that is the bedrock of the marital covenant. Dr. Laura will guide couples back to what first brought them together and help them reconnect with the force of we/us (spouse and children). Dr. Laura posted a series of research surveys on her website (www.drlaura.com), and the feedback was revealing. She found overwhelmingly that men need simple things from their women like attention, love, compassion, sex, and moral support. Female participants reported that they seek strength, courage, confidence, honesty, and chivalry among many other traditionally masculine characteristics. Dr. Laura breaks down the data to explain what husbands and wives really want and don't want from each other. Too often, she recognizes, we take out our childhood hurts on our loved ones without even seeing it. Dr. Laura urges readers to look inward before pointing fingers, and explains what to do when the emotional lovey-dovey feelings don't seem to be there. THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE suggests making behavioral changes that will improve your spouse's life dramatically, including: Treat your spouse as if you loved him/her with your last breath Think hard every day about how you can make their life worth living Be the kind of person you would want to love, hug, and come home to THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE shares the hard-earned wisdom of couples who have fought back from nearly splitting up. Many of these men and women feel that going to hell and back has actually been a blessing in disguise. For those looking at divorce as a solution, Dr. Laura advises readers on approaching your spouse when it all seems hopeless, reminds people to think carefully about the needs of the children, and presents ten alternatives to giving up. Even when it looks impossible, most marriages can be salvaged and renewed. Dr. Laura knows how to accomplish this. THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE will show couples that by giving -- their attention, their time, their love, their forgiveness, themselves -- they will get back more than they ever could have imagined, most rewardingly the spouse and the marriage of their wildest dreams.
