Dr. Laura's Deep Dive Podcast

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 change. They may have had issues that would lead a lot of today’s couples to divorce, but they found a way to work through them. And in this Deep Dive, I want to teach you how to do the same so that you can save your marriage.

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 attend. You just need to be a Dr. Laura Family member to get on the invitation list. Take a listen to this special re-broadcast of our May 9th Dr. Laura LIVE event, taped at SiriusXM in LA. And be sure to go to Dr. Laura dot com to join my FREE Family so you’ll be among those invited to the next event in October 2025!

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?

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.

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.
