This site provides information about a book entitled, "The Hurried Woman Syndrome," written by an OBGYN specialist, Dr. Brent W. Bost. It speaks specifically a little more in depth about Dr. Laura's label, Hurried Woman Syndrome, she gives to (mostly working) women who "want it all." Except, this book includes that it occurs mostly in "stay-at-home" wives instead of working wives, which is what is stressed so far in Dr. Laura's book. I don't believe that it focuses on the dominance model like most help books do since there is a section in the book for the husbands to read if they have a low sex drive, and to help them to improve it for themself and their wife. It seems to be a book written to help a woman feel more organized and in control of her life rather than letting the events take her for a rollercoaster ride.

This is not a usual website that I usually stumble across, but I found it to be interesting. Instead, this is a female's personal blog who seems to still be in high school. Her blogs seem to contain mostly about commenting her daily life (peers, school, mother, etc.) and about herself. What I found interesting is her brief insert about the "frump syndrome," something that her and "c" has coined on their own. In her Februrary 01 posting she labels herself as a "low-maintenance frump" and that she gets it from her mother who is "a no-maintenance frump, with very poor house skills, dressing skills, self wellness skills, etc...." that she models after. I understand the pressures teens go through, especially females with make-up, hair, etc. However, I would never have guessed a female teen (young adult) to label herself as having the "frump syndrome" unless she's been exposed to Dr. Laura. On the interenet, it only seems that the "frump syndrome" is associated with Dr. Laura. This female, also voices that she hopes she does not turn into a "crazy desperate... housewife... overweight, and unhappy... (and the) kids are their life," which she claims is no fun and scary. Which in a way is what Dr. Laura says about putting the kids first over the husband is like.

Since miscommunication may be one of the underlying causes of marital conflicts, I found this article as a good source of addressing the issue. Not only does this article contain distinct differences between an unhealthy relationship vs. a healthy relationship, it also addresses the involvement of children which is often ignored in marital conflict issues. The article is somewhat short, but it does give a one or two coping strategies that may be helpful in the event of a disagreement that may escalate. In addition, there are relevant links on the website that may be worth reading. However, some of the selected links provide authors that support the dominance model.

Washington Post Staff Writers review the war between sexes from the last half of this century.  Now husband and wife battle new problems, like stress, lack of time, and financial pressures of living in the modern day.  Survey shows that increased gender equity has enriched both sexes.  Also results revealed that new strains have made building successful marriages, raising children and leading satisfactory lives more difficult.  I found this review very similar to my ideas of today’s society.

This site illustrates an equity model of marriage opinion. It promotes the idea that wives and husbands are happier when chores are divided equally. Any inequities in chore division will make the woman happy, in turn affecting the quality of marriage for the man. It suggests that men should do housework because it is good for their health and will reduce their stress. I picked this article because I thought it was a good representation of the equity model. However, I think this article is kind of bribing a husband into doing housework (because it is good for their health). Husbands should take the Unity model of marriage outlook and do housework because it pleases their wives.

This is a link to the website for the book entitled, “The Hurried Woman Syndrome” by Brent W. Bost.  The homepage actually gives a good and detailed description as to what “Hurried Woman Syndrome”, what the symptoms are and who is most likely to be a victim of it.  It also gives a little quiz to see if you are showing signs of the syndrome and/or if t is more serious like depression.
