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. What Your Mother Couldn’t Tell You and Your Father Didn’t Know explores the changing roles of men and women, as well as how to employ advanced relationship skills for ensuring more loving and fulfilling unions. Gray maintains that relationship problems are inevitable, but offers practical suggestions for discovering mutual passion and attracting that special person. Some of the relationship wisdom Gray offers includes:

• There is nothing bad or narcissistic about wanting more than our parents did. The truth is that times have changed, and our values have changed with them. The new problems we face are not symptoms of failure but are the successful result of the evolution of our society.
• If you are single, this book will be a revelation. It will give you hope that you can have better relationships. It will allow you to view past mistakes without feeling guilty or bad. It will make it easier to forgive those who have hurt or disappointed you. By clearly seeing others’ mistakes with the new awareness that they just didn’t know better, layers of resentment will be released.
• By learning to resolve the differences between men and women, we are, in effect, easing global tensions and allowing ourselves to effectively embrace and connect different cultures and races. As in male/female relationships, the solution is not in denying that differences exist. The potential for conflict is resolved solely through honoring and respecting each other and finding creative ways in which to fulfill our differing needs.

While men are still from Mars and women still from Venus, What Your Mother Couldn’t Tell You and Your Father Didn’t Know provides the necessary information for creating and sustaining mutually satisfying relationships—even in an era where roles are blurring. This book will show you:
