Guaranteed to provide greater clarity and contentment between any two people, this book provides provocative—and much-needed—social commentary in a humorous fashion.
Examples of some of the collective myths which Ray investigates are:
My happiness is dependent on my partner.
If you love me, you’ll do what I want.
If I try hard enough, my partner will sooner or later change.
I’m more selfish than my partner if I don’t do what my partner wants.
I know what is best for my partner.
A relationship can only work if you compromise.
A relationship is only a success if it lasts until death do us part.
I need a partner to be happy.
It’s better to be in a relationship than to be single.
I can only experience the love that I seek with one special person.
Strong sexual attraction means we’re a good match.
Men and women are different.
In this entertaining and thought-provoking book, Ray presents a revolutionary new way of looking at our relationships and why they can be so problematic – and then he goes on to offer some refreshing, new advice as to what we can do about it.
Ray’s premise is that most of us believe in a wide range of myths about men and women, love and relationships that we’ve never questioned. And it’s our unquestioned belief in these myths that confuses us and makes us unhappy in our relationships. To help readers understand the power of myths in our lives, he identifies some of our most common “relationship myths”. And then he shows us how we can free ourselves from them. The result is much greater clarity, joy and love in our relationships.
