The sleep show has been postponed until later in the month.

Our guest today is Dr. Scott Haltzman, author of the book The Secrets of Happily Married Women.

Have you ever asked your husband to do the laundry, but then complained about the way he did it? According to Dr. Haltzman, a little praise for the help, rather than a discourse on separating delicates from sweat socks, will encourage your husband to help more around the house. He also explains why men don’t respond well to long conversations or detailed explanations and how leaving a reminder about a birthday or anniversary can be the best way to keep your husband from forgetting both. He’s also written a book about The Secrets of Happily Married Men which has been featured before on Problems & Solutions. (www.secretsofmarriedmen.com)

We’ll start off the New Year with some important words of wisdom from Tom Rath of the Gallup Organization. We’ll feature the book he co-wrote with his grandfather, the late Don Clifton, entitled How Full Is Your Bucket? How did you feel after your last interaction with another person? Did that person -- your spouse, best friend, coworker, or even a stranger -- "fill your bucket" by making you feel more positive? Or did that person "dip from your bucket," leaving you more negative than before? How Full Is Your Bucket? reveals how even the briefest interactions affect your relationships, productivity, health, and longevity. Tom is originally from Lincoln. (www.bucketbook.com)
