MEN FROM MARS...GOOD?

From a good friend:

Do you recommend Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus?

Answer: It is ok for an overview. On www.thelifemanagementalliance.com, you can look under the Relationships section for Relationship Resources overall (click on article title to link to it), but note in particular the link under books to Gender Differences (or just enter that in the search engine to go directly to it).

Yes, we do communicate differently. And, yes, we need to respect that difference and not expect an apple to be other than an apple, as the key problem in relationships is the "make-wrong" about the other because of the disappointment about the other not meeting our (unrealistic) expectations - a set up for failure.

And, I do applaud anyone who looks at the "dilemma" and seeks to become a master (at required Level I) in "significant other" relationships. If a person has spent at least 120 hours studying this in depth, one is operating out of ignorance, I think.

Go to the Relationships page and click on "Essential Quick Grounding In Relationships" and do at least that!!!!

One fellow spent 18 hours popping around the website on this. The result: he could see that he shouldn't be in the dysfunctional relationship he was in. [He was right.] In most cases, however, with a willing partner at least at the minimum level, things can be worked out in relationships.

So, my friend, I wish you much wisdom in, and completion in the knowledge about, relating to that one person who can add the most to your life. (But also remember the idea behind the book 'Men Are Just Dessert'...)
