When a couple with young kids comes to me for help after an infidelity, I’m going to ask if it was a one-time thing or a pattern of behavior. It's also important to know HOW the affair ended. Did they stop just because they got caught? Did the other person do the dumping? Or did your spouse come to his or her senses? These details matter because, when children are involved, it’s not so simple to walk away. Your kids will suffer gre...
I read an article recently that said the global wellness business has become a six trillion-dollar industry. From weighted blankets to mindful menopause retreats, there are endless products, services, supplements and medications to help relieve the stress of everyday life. Before you convince yourself that the only way to get more peace is to purchase it, you should try some of the anxiety-taming tips I’m discussing today.

Do you believe you’re failing as a parent? Does it feel like you’ve lost control and your kids are using tantrums, tears and other strategies to run the show? The first thing you need to understand is that you cannot rationalize with a child. They’re selfish little creatures who want their immediate needs gratified. They are in their emotions and want what they want. And they’ll make a lot of noise while trying to get your attentio...
When I would travel the country for book signings, one of the most special combinations of people to arrive at my table would be mothers and daughters-in-law. It’s always so touching when two of the most important women in a man’s life actually like one another, and maybe even love each other. While it’s sadly not the norm, I’ve always believed that when a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law can open their hearts to receive the ble...
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.

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...
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. They are not supposed to be fit in around their mommy’s and daddy’s more important schedules.

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 da...
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 ...
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...
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?

I want to talk to you about sex therapy, and the first thing I want to say is, don't wait until you have an actual sexual problem in your relationship before you seek sex therapy.

Ahhh, human beings – we are hardwired to compete. Throughout all of history we’ve competed for love, power, territory. So sibling rivalry makes sense, when you think about it. Remember Cain and Abel?

The teenage years are just about the craziest time of life for both teens AND their parents. It’s normal for adolescents to give you grief. Their brains are changing fast, hormones are out of whack, they’re dealing with friends and social pressures. Teens are impulsive.

Falling in love really takes no effort. You feel all those horny and happy butterflies because it's new. It feeds your ego, feeds your fantasies and distracts you from everything. It's just wonderful.

I find that most people have an easier time forgiving others than forgiving themselves for the mistakes or naughty things they’ve done. People can carry around shame, disappointment and self-hate for a very long time.

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!
