Ah! I can't read this anymore. I cannot stand her negativity toward the subject that she chose to write about. The thing is, I do agree with a lot of what she is saying and I can see the perspective of the men in the scenarios that she presents. What I cannot stand is her snap judgements and her quick decisions on how to fix the problem. I am a licensed Social Worker and if I ever made my opinion from only one side of the story, I would be missing the family story. I am trained to look at all sides of the problem and to work together to create a solution. So far I don't see her talking about the couples working together to solve anything. It may be further in the book but I cannot stand to read any more. I am also reading The Love Dare by Stephen Kendrick and that book is so much more positive. It too presents a challenge for BOTH people in the relationship to work on TOGETHER and it also focuses on putting your partner first. I do not find it depressing or pointing fingers like Dr. Laura does. I will not recommend this book to anyone and I will tell them instead to read The Love Dare.
