Dear Dr. Laura,
I grew up listening to your show with my mother. So when I got engaged 7 years ago, I bought a copy of The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands for myself...naturally! I try to read it annually leading up to our anniversary, but in the last three years that tradition slacked a bit: baby boy in 2011, baby girl in 2014. It's been busy and neither of my kids are fond of sleeping. Still, I thought I was properly caring for and feeding my husband, until I came to the "What's Sex?" chapter. An opening quote from a listener reads, "Sex is to a husband what conversation is to a wife." I read that phrase to my husband the other day while we had a quiet kid-free moment in the kitchen. He smiled, grabbed my tush and said, "Well, let's get talkin'!"
That was last week, and life has been more smiley since. I am happier, and my husband's kisses are deeper like when we were dating--something I've missed. Thanks for reminding us wives that sex really is THAT important!
Suzanne
