Has Hell Frozen Over?

I am sure that most people I know have not read the book I am about to refer to, but you may have heard of it. Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, written by none other but the "diversity-loathing uber Nazi-Christian" Dr. Laura Schlessinger has got my wheels turning.


Now, I agree with the author of the article- men-as they are people, too- have much higher needs than food, water, and sex. But maybe Dr. Laura has a point (CHOKE)...because I don't know of hardly any man that PAYS TOO MUCH ATTENTION to those higher needs. Those big three seem to dominate 99.9% of the time. So, maybe I would be neglecting my man's "higher needs" by following her advice. Here's my question- Will he know? Will he care? Would he be less happy?

One idea found in the text was hard to swallow, no pun intended. I am sure wives everywhere are in an uproar...ready? "Husbands, Schlessinger says, should be of prime importance in marriages and children should not be used as an all-too-common excuse for neglecting them. Nagging, whining and crying are also off the menu. And never say no to sex as it indicates a lack of respect and consideration for the man?s wants." Ok. Deep breath.

Radical idea: I'm gonna try this out for 7-10 days. No one will be more surprised by my husband. I have not felt well for over a week, and we are in the midst of a hellacious argument right now! I'll let you know how it all turns out- the experiment, that is. Wink, wink, nod, nod.

Tomorrow we find out the sex of the baby....vote now....Boy, Girl, or Combo Platter!
