The book I didn't want to recommend

I finished reading a book on Tuesday morning, one that I didn't want to like. But I loved it. In fact, I think every women in America should read it. It's called, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. I guess if I had to sum up the contents of the book, I'd say, "Men have feelings, too," and "Stop being a self-centered wife." There were times when I was reading this book that I actually started to cry, realizing how insensitive I've been to my own husband at times. Even though he thinks I'm wonderful, I KNOW there have been many times when I have been much more concerned about having my needs met than in meeting his. The book also made me realize that there are a lot of hurting men out there.

I'd love to hear what you think of the book. Buy a copy, read it, then pass it on to a friend. That's what I did. And now I have a waiting list of those who want to borrow it. This book will definitely be on my Christmas shopping list this year for some of the favorite women in my life -- not as a way of criticizing them at all, but as a way of helping them to understand their mates and better their marriages.

This one is a quick read. Very engaging. Not too long.

Now I'm reading, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, a classic. I'll let you know if I'm equally impressed with this one!
