Ratings and reviews

PLEASE FIX! I downloaded this ebook but it is unreadable. The words, sentences, and paragraphs are all misplaced. Besides this my husband and I have benefited immensely, and that is worth 5 stars! (We have a hardcopy)the insight this book shares is the most genuine advice any relationship could find. I think this book deserves a place in mainstream school. Obviously with age appropriate editions. Relationships skills should be a large part of education, but are too easily overlooked. I don't understand why. Relationships are the most IMPORTANT part of our lives. Without my relationships I would have nothing.

This book's premise is very flawed, as it assumes that men and women are so different that they may as well be different species (or from different planets). Men and women are both human and have the same emotions, thoughts, and basic desires. We are just trained differently by society from birth, which is how the genders appear to be so different. This difference in social training does not mean that our natural needs and urges have been changed so much, however.

David Ray, if you are using Kindle the new item must be pulled up by refreshing your list. Often it takes a while to process the transaction. I hope you get your book if you have not already. For myself the book was too playful and politically correct but the meanings do come thru so it can be helpful even if not always practical or applicable. It is a good foundation to understanding the one basic rule to successful relationships. That being, each person must accept that the other will only share their lives and never surrender them.
