Forget Mars and Venus, the problem today is when husbands and wives are TOO alike

When my wife and I were getting married, our Church insisted that all couples take pre-marital counseling, and during it the pastor told us "If both of you are THE SAME, then one of you is unnecessary . . . "

One sample technique Gray came up with to overcome the yawning gulf between the sexes was the Venus Talk, in which the woman talks to the man about her feelings and he has to listen without interruption for at least ten minutes. Can you imagine?
Then there was the celebrated Point Scoring system, where the man gets points for hugs, washing the dishes and putting the toilet seat down (well done, darling).
Meanwhile, the woman gets her points for somehow managing not to say ‘I told you so’ when the man makes a mistake. And also for understanding that every man needs time alone in his man ‘cave’, perhaps to watch sports or whatever it is they do in there.

This sounds a lot like a manual to train your man.

‘Not to be needed is a slow death for a man,’ he wrote solemnly back in 1992. Today’s woman might be rather more interested in detailing exactly what she needs from him before he withers away on his vine of self-pity.

This sounds like Karen Straughan's post where she says that men are tools and they they need to be better tools.

Endorphin-rich and plain old rich-rich, Gray turned 70 this week and celebrated his birthday with his girlfriend, two of his three daughters from his two marriages, and his four grandchildren.

Wait, why has he been divorced twice?

Forget Mars and Venus, it was a crappy book.

When you raise girls to try to become men, and promote that attitude everywhere. You end up with women that no men wants to be with.
