Ten Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships

Ten Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships – Laura Schlessinger

Why do so many couples who start out in love end up unhappy, frustrated or apart?

In Ten Stupid Things Couples Do to Mess Up Their Relationships, popular radio host and author Dr. Laura Schlessinger draws on years of conversations with callers to identify the common attitudes and behaviors that damage relationships, often without partners realizing what they are doing. Building on the success of her earlier bestsellers about the mistakes men and women make, she turns her attention to the couple itself.

Dr. Laura examines problems such as poor communication, unrealistic expectations, selfishness, neglect, a lack of respect, letting outside influences interfere and failing to put the relationship first. Through real-life examples from her listeners, she shows how these patterns develop and why they are so destructive, and she offers direct, practical advice on how to change them.

Her approach emphasizes personal responsibility, commitment, kindness and appreciation, encouraging readers to focus less on what their partner is doing wrong and more on what they themselves can do better.

Written in Dr. Laura’s characteristically blunt and straightforward style, the book does not shy away from hard truths, but its goal is constructive: to help couples build stronger, more loving and longer-lasting partnerships.

Ten Stupid Things Couples Do is a practical read for married and committed couples, those preparing for marriage and anyone who wants to understand what it takes to keep love alive over the years.
