Conversation: She didn't have a lot of time for her answer, but as an infrequent listener, I'll guess at her rationale.
One of her principles about a marriage (and not just her) is that when you have a partnership, important life decisions need to have agreement of both parties before you proceed together as a team. Withholding sex is "out of bounds" to get that agreement.
Since the person was on the phone to Dr Laura with a problem, that told Dr Laura that she took the job without first getting agreement from her husband - hence she violated the partnership rules. It wasn't that women shouldn't have a job or that men make the rules, but that she decided to overrule the partnership arrangement to feed her ego. Support is a mutual thing - it goes both ways. | artstone

Conversation: That doesn't strike me as particularly useful advice. If he really is a Navy Seal (he probably is lying), having a gun pointed in his direction is going to do nothing except get her killed. | artstone
