It is a comprehensive book about man/women relationships that is developed based on scientific facts, but written in a simple language for the general public. Contrary to the present approach to address the symptoms of relationship conflicts, this book explores the deep-rooted problems of relationships as a pandemic.

The table of content and preliminary pages of this book show the main theme and the structure of the book. Every chapter contains many innovative and educational ideas about relationships while couples' limitations to relate are explained in great detail. In a nutshell, the book studies the main issues of relationships in an easy-to-understand scientific structure. To reverse the frightening trends in relationships, radical changes are needed in terms of both people's mindset and social mechanisms. This book is the product of the author's research, expertise, and efforts to save his own marriage during the last fifteen years. The book contains around 135,000 words and over thirty-five simple diagrams and tables. Synopsis: Over the last few decades, we have developed wrong perceptions about the nature of love and the purpose of relationships. With drastic changes in social values and lifestyles, our expectations from relationships have skyrocketed in line with our escalating personal aspirations. But all these idealistic needs have only led to more distress for everybody. The rising divorce rate and endless family conflicts reflect the hectic environment of relationships. These facts also reveal that our present methods of dealing with relationship hurdles have failed. While focusing on the symptoms of relationship failures, we have ignored the roots of the problems as a social pandemic. So, it is time now to analyse the real sources of problems and face up to the high complexity of relationships in new societies. It appears that we need radical solutions compatible with our new social values and expanding personal needs. A main goal of this book is to help couples review their mentality about the capacity and purpose of relationships. Another objective is to suggest a framework that can assist couples assess their relationships more realistically. Too many relationships are ruined nowadays due to partners' biased judgments and hasty decisions. The ultimate goal of this book is to bring objectivity back into relationships. At the very least, it is time to appreciate the need for viewing relationships in a new light consistent with the characteristics of new lifestyles. Instead of searching all our lives for a soul mate and an ideal relationship, we must find a way to relate more effectively, while strengthening our identity and individualism too. |
