Men and Marriage
Husbands, if your wives don’t understand you, buy them
a copy of “Straight Talk for men About Marriage: What Men
Need to Know About Marriage (And What Women Need to Know About
Men)” (Little Moose Pres, $15.95) by Martin G. Friedman
of Palo Alto.
Wives, do the same for your husbands.
Friedman passionately dissects the heart and lungs of marriage
and explores what it really means to be husband and wife in
a relationship. His heart-felt words are born of experience.
“
If you see marriage for what it really is—a testing ground
to learn about yourself, grow as a human being and expand your
capacity for love—you most likely will see that it’s
worth holding on to,” Friedman says.
“ You will have much less pain and have far more inner freedom
if you view marriage as a living, breathing organism that needs
frequent time, energy and spirit to breathe and flourish.”
As with Coleman’s book, there are a lot of “ah ha!” moments.
Friedman backs up his words with a great deal of enthusiasm and
positive energy. He’s a man who believes in marriage, no
doubt about it.
