Did you see the episodes he did a while back about weight loss? He was on there dogging the rest of his family! And, a lot of the time I think his advice is common sense. I mean, I could tell people most of the things that he advises simply because it is common sense. Also, I really don't know what to think about Robin and their marriage. Do you think their marriage is really as good as they make it out to be? Do you think Robin is somewhat of a pushover? I mean, Dr. Phil seems very overbearing. How could their marriage be that perfect unless Robin was somewhat of a pushover? Did you know that Dr. Phil's son married a playboy bunny? I sometimes wonder what Dr. Phil would say to someone he is counseling if that happened to them instead of his own son? Would he still support it? I'm definately not one to judge, but I just don't think that anyone's marriage can be that "perfect," if you know what I mean. If it IS that perfect, then that is FANTASTIC! There needs to be more "perfect" marriages in this world.

You're right, most of his advice, as far as I'm concerned is common sense. But that is a lot of what's wrong nowadays. People just don't use common sense!

I'm not sure what to think of their marriage. She sure talks like she doesn't take crap from him. She even said that when she was ready to get married she told him and he said he wasn't ready yet...so she told him "goodbye." He finally came around. That took guts on her part. I also heard quite a while back that he had an affair in the first part of their marriage. Now whether it's true or not, I don't know.
