Are there any marital situations for which your book does not apply? Yes, most definitely. Where the behavior of the husbands is blatantly destructive, dangerous or evil, this book does not apply.
My ex-husband's behaviours could be classified as both destructive and dangerous (certainly according to the cop across the street, my divorce attorney and my ex-bf the Chicago homicide detective, 3 men with more experience than I in the darker side of life). I think Dr. Laura needs to stress this point a bit more. Sometimes women really need to be objective as to whether a relationship is fundamentally unsound. If it is, then no sense working to fix up a house that is rotted through and through.

My only problem with Dr. Laura is her view of sex. I think men need to be a little more understanding of women and sex. For one thing, having kids can really mess you up. When I was pregnant with twins, we had sex I think twice in a year because of medical problems. I then had lots of problems even after they were born. I don't think a lot of men would put up with that. Thank God, mine did, but it did cause a lot of stress.
I'm not really looking forward to menapause because I think things will get messed up again.

I agree with you. If you listen to her radio show every time there is a woman in an abusive situation she spends extra time with her and guides her to make a decision to get out of the situation THAT DAY to a place where she will be safe.
Abuse is one of her 3 A's of acceptable reasons for divorce. (abuse, abandonment, adultery).
