Dr. Laurs's book is excellant. The only problem is it will only do good for the LD wife, and only if she wants to change. She has men(me in particular) pegged PERFECTLY. I particularly love the phrase, "Feed Him, Sex Him, Admire Him, and he will work for you until his heart explodes". That is exactly the way it works for HD men. It is amazing how many LD women don't get this, and how much they are missing out on in life because they don't get this. They truly don't understand that THEY can hold ALL the power in their hand, literally. It really is so simple to understand the mechanics of marriage, and yet LD women want to FIGHT nature. As Dr. Laura says, men are incredibly simple creatures while women are unbelievable complex. She is on the mark 100%.
She is also on the mark with LD women. LD women will only change when THEY want to and when they go through the process of changing the man must stay out of it completely, but worst of all is that many LD women can NEVER change. The process is almost entirely in the womens hands.
Roughly, the same process is being described here. You as the man can only do one thing, make yourself atttractive. That's it. 90% of the solution is going to have to come from the women, and there is not a freaking thing you can do to help (this sucks for solution oriented guys). We just have to sit by and wait.
