When it comes to relationships, most would agree that it's a cosntant battle of the sexes.

John explains what it takes to have a successful relationship. He provides different scenarios from both the womans and the mans point of view and offers advice on how to counteract differences in communication styles, emotional needs, and behavior patterns.

So, instead of discussing 'why' men and women are different, he focuses on what those differences are and explains the ways men and women react to stress, what motivates them, and their emotional cycles and needs.
