Based on my experience, it is not surprising relationships are so challenging. That said, I have been blessed with knowing some wonderful women who have made significant contributions to my life. What troubles me is the constant comparisons. Women can do this, this and this better. Men always, never, generally blah, blah, blah forever.

History tells us men have treated women far too often without the respect women are entitled to, and worse. The disparity in treatment continues to this day. Am I a suspect person because of my gender? Do all men need to be changed or trained? Does no husband listen to his wife?

I hope your book brings spousal enlightenment, Muser, and with it the confidence to trust again.
