My book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, originated from a call on my show that I will never forget. Caller (*crying and sniffling*): I'm very upset about what my husband did on my birthday.

Dr. Laura: What happened?

Caller: He took me out to dinner and gave me flowers.

Dr. Laura: Well, that was nice, no?

Caller: Well yeah. And he gave me a present.

Dr. Laura: Was it something he knew you hated?

Caller: No, it was a nice present. And he took me to a movie.

Dr. Laura: What kind of movie?

Caller: A chick flick.

Dr. Laura: Wait, so let me get this straight: Your husband came home from a hard day at work, took you out to dinner, gave you flowers and a present, and sat through a chick flick with you. Why are you upset?

Caller: Well, when we got home, he went into the living room and started watching some sports. He should have shown me MORE attention! I couldn't believe it! After all this husband had done for his wife, he got to endure the wrath of Khan because he put his feet up for five minutes to relax. When I finished with the call, I actually slammed down my pen on the table and exclaimed, "THAT'S IT! I need to write a book about how so many women demand and demand and demand of their husbands but give very little back."

And voilà - The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands was born.
