In a class all its own

This book is phenomenal! Better than self-help, yet not as cumbersome as a classroom text, it should be required reading for every married couple out there!Dr. Young-Eisendrath's thesis is that ours is the first era in history when men and women en masse have the potential to have emotionally intimate, honest relationships. In the past the power in a male-female relationship was too off balance for true intimacy. Since this potential is a recent phenomenon, very few models exist for a gender-opposite relationship based on equality. The good doctor builds such a model, based on extensive research, and its malleable for all of us.
