Book Review:

In these modern times, woman are now tapping into their masculine sides, seeking to make a difference in the world, whereas men are tapping into their feminine sides, seeking romance at home, more relaxation, and nurturing relationships with their children. According to bestselling author John Gray, the age-old distinction between male and female roles is now blurred, often creating confusion and frustration. This time of transition is very different from the expectations and roles of those in past generations—where men didn’t know how to rekindle the flames of romance (often divorcing or having affairs) and woman sacrificed for the children, not knowing how to articulate their need to feel special.
