Product Description
Men do listen! They don't feel! As they grow up an anesthetizing of feelings takes place. They're suppressing not only negative emotions, but also the positive emotions. This book is written for anyone who has been frustrated by male/female relationships and wants guidance in understanding the opposite sex. Head off misunderstanding. Finally , help for the male and female interested in improving or saving their relationship. If you're filing for divorce, separated, looking for a mate, alone and trying to understand what went wrong, all is carefully covered. The author is very, very good with word pictures and uses them frequently throughout the book. Another technique is using little vignettes based on true stories to illustrate a point. The Author uses extensive lists to get the readers ideas flowing. Within each chapter are jokes and popular quotations from a wide variety of sources to add a little punch. Some are humorous and others profound. "Marriage, which makes two one, is a lifelong struggle to discover which is that one." Dozens of case studies demonstrating where things went wrong and how they could erode your relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Differences between men and women, April 13, 2000

By	Kevin Clapper (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews

While the main topic is how men have been taught to suppress emotions and eventually run from their own feelings, the author also delves into the differences between men and women in thought and purpose. He has taken what he has personally lived and witnessed and poured it all out for the benefit of others. This book is not based on research, it is based on life. The research he uses supports what he has already discovered to be true. Misner's desire is to help people, not to toot his own horn or flaunt his accomplishments. He has an easy-going, conversational style and talks to the reader out of deep personal conviction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding men, April 10, 2000

By	Kevin Clapper (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews

My problem over the years of trying to understand men and why they don't hear what I am saying was finally explained in the book. One big mistake I was making was to think men felt the same as women. I should have listened to my own inner voice telling me that "he" is avoiding emotions. In trying to control everything around him he has suppressed not only the bad but the good emotions. With the authors help I now know what I must do to break down the barriers to have a close relationship with a man.
