Dr. Laura:
I've heard you say hundreds of times how noticing small things, complimenting, and being your husband's girlfriend can make a difference in a marriage. That small bit of advice has made a big difference in my life with a husband I was about to throw away. I wish other women who have perfectly good husbands would understand these magic words which will turn their husbands into the Prince Charming they so desperately want.
I was one of those women who was going through the motions until our kids were out and then I planned to start a new life hopefully with someone who would be more compatible. But about five years ago, I noticed my husband was capable of changing and I trusted that the changes were for real. That's when I started changing MY attitude, and channeled more of the affection and attention I was giving the children towards him. I was flirty and sweet and not uptight, and he responded in ways that blew me away. I always felt my husband loved me, but our day-to-day interaction was tense and unfriendly. The more I followed your advice, the more affectionate, attentive and helpful he was. I was quite amazed and so thankful.
Keep preaching that women have the power in the marriage to turn it around if they just do a little work and stop trying to be in control of everything. I have benefited from this more than I ever expected, and I have you to thank for it.
