“Falling in love is always magical. It feels eternal, as if love will last forever. We naively believe that somehow w are exempt from the problems our parents had, free from the odds that love will die, assured that it is meant to be and that we are destined to live happily ever after.

But as the magic recedes and daily life takes over, it emerges that men continue to expect women to think and react like men, and women expect men to feel and behave like women. Without a clear awareness of our differences, we do not take the time to understand and respect each other. We become demanding, resentful, judgmental, and intolerant.

With the best and most loving intentions love continues to die. Somehow the problem creep in. The resentments build. Communication break down. Mistrust Increases. Rejection and repression result. The magic of love is lost.”

- John Gray, “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”
