I never realized what a smart, smart women she is.

In her latest book she writes, "If husbands are expected to go to work and earn money and visit relatives they don't like, why can't wives put out on demand?"

I already ordered a copy for my wife. This world needs more writers like Dr Laura.


Wives have a "loving obligation" to have sex whenever they are asked for it.

Good idea Vi. When your wife reads that book, you'll get all the sex you want. From yer ol pal Rosey Palm!

She: Oh no I can't, I have an appointment with my gynacologist in the morning.

He: Do you have an appointment with the Dentist too?

I dunno if that's out of context, but the illogic is pretty obvious. What guy goes and visits relatives they don't like on demand? What guy lets his wife make all the decisions about his job?

It's as if she never heard of negotiation.

I suspect a lot of guys will be buying this book for their wives this Christmas.






















How much will it sell for?

Negotiation - You know that stupid useless stuff they talk about in France, and in the UN.

Negotiation
Something like "I'll take you shoe shopping if you #&%!$ #&%!$ #&%!$"?

No, no, Violin.

Not shoe shopping, then she would not be barefoot, and might escape from the kitchen.

True enough. Besides, I'm pretty sure negotiating is only done with professionals. Wives are supposed to sumbit.

Colossians 3:18 and Ephesians 5:22 couldn't be more clear.

Becareful of the context, guys, you might be disappointed.

I've studied those verses many times over the years and heard lots of interpretations. Bottom line is that it is not what we guys believe they mean, but what our wives think they mean.

Divinity pointed out the other verses...it goes both ways.

Funny story: Went to a wedding for one of my students many years ago. She was "Romanian Baptist" and had a large traditional wedding. One of the ministers spoke and strongly suggested (not demanded) she "submit" to her husband whenever he wanted. We were sitting in the audience with another student who was quite the feminist. When the minister said that she sort of went into meltdown. My wife turned to her and said something like, "...don't worry...we all don't interpret that the same way..." (You had to be there).

Yeah, and as soon as the wife comes home from HER job she'll throw the book at him!

Palaver - great word for multiple contexts here Tom!

From the very little couples therapy experience I have (mostly while in training in grad school), it seemed clear to me that a little sweet talk and seduction would have done a world of good for a lot of husbands (and a few wives) who expected their partner to "put out" more.
