I’ve done a number of Deep Dives on the importance of affection, sensuality and sex in marriage. But it’s my most recent effort that may make the biggest impact on my listeners yet. It started with me reading an email I received on-air that generated lots of caller feedback and comments that flooded my inbox in the following days. I want you and your marriage to benefit from hearing the whole thing. Call 1-800-DR-LAURA / 1-800-375-2872 or make an appointment at DrLaura.com Follow me on social me...

One of my favorite t-shirts in the Merch Store at DrLaura.com reads, “You Picked Him. Stop Picking on Him!” It’s something I say to callers a lot. Mostly to women who tell me that they can just no longer live with their husband’s bad habits, insensitivities, lack of ambition and such. I always ask, “When did you first notice these negative behaviors?” Followed by, “Did your mother, sister, best friend – anyone point these red flags out to you?” More likely than not, the behaviors existed before ...

How would your baby rate your job performance if she could? Of all the things we can give our children, attention is what they most need and want. Children deserve to be put first.

It takes a man to turn a boy into a man. And a dad to show his daughter what she should be looking for in a future husband. That’s why I’m constantly nagging you to choose wisely before getting married… to pick a man who will be a good husband and who’ll also be a good father. Dads aren’t there to just be another adult in the home. They bring something important and essential to their kids’ lives. So, choosing poorly can be very damaging.

When you see a cute old couple who looks like they’ve been married 120 years, wrinkled, hunched over, walking down the street holding hands, you may be tempted to think they had some kind of special luck to make it together for that long. But, no two people are completely compatible. NONE. If you were to ask them what the key to their marital success has been, they’d likely tell you that they learned to let a lot of stuff go. They endured and maybe even ignored the things that weren’t going to c...

Have you come to one of my live stage performances? I’ve done many over the years, but the ones at the SiriusXM studios in Los Angeles have been among the most special. The theater is tiny, which means I’m up close and personal with those who attend. Lily meanders through the audience and picks certain laps to sit on. I take audience questions and ask questions of my own. We take pictures at the end, and I give out lots of hugs and Dr. Laura-themed goodies. Oh, and these events are FREE to atten...

Any given day on my SiriusXM radio program, you’re likely to hear me ask a caller, “Is this how you want your life to go ‘between now and dead?’” It’s probably my favorite “Dr. Laura-ism” because it really puts life into perspective, don’t you think?

Sex is very bonding to a female. That’s our biology. Once a woman has sex, hormones flood her body, flood her mind, leading her to perceive that the relationship is meaningful. This phenomenon is one of the reasons a woman might stick with a relationship that’s not going in the direction she wants or anybody should want!

When you show affection, you’re showing love. It's another way to say I love you. But, far too often couples let it slip away. They stop sitting close to each other on the couch. They stop holding hands as they walk down the street. It’s sad really.
