Battle of Sexes

       Both men and women are prone to do things, think, feel and even act differently. Their needs and expectations as well are a far cry from one another. John Gray in his book "Men are From Mars - Women are from Venus" claimed that such distinction signify that both male and female species derive from different planets in a sense that they are worlds apart when it comes to issues concerning personality, relationship and marriage. How far is this true?

          I read somewhere in an article that highlighted on the false hopes men and women bear in their minds when they get married. On one hand, when a man marries a woman, he expects her to stay the same. On the other hand, when a woman marries a man, she expects him to change. Amusing right?? It may seem simple as it sounds but wait till you apply it in real situations. A once slim young woman may not be able to keep her body figure at its best shape after deliver babies besides the fact that she's aging of course while a bad-boy personality of a man would not going to take its new form into a complete gentleman (even if there are any women who stay the same and men who change to be better, don't you think it is rather rare?). Do you get my point clearly?? If both species cannot accept this common sense, the battle of sexes will initially activate the time bomb. Uh-Oh..

           Thus, for the sake of healthy relationship, men and women have to go deeper in understanding each other. Trust me when I say that having such love chemistry doesn't help your relationship with someone lasts longer. I'd love to say that "Love with Effort resulted to everlasting relationship. Love without Effort is like adoring a puppet. Effort without Love prevails insecurity." Learn to accept your partner for who he/she is not for what he/she is. Needless to say, if you have found your Mr/ Ms Right, you would know what I mean exactly.

P/S: To those who are still single, i recommend you read John Gray's book on "Men are from Mars-Women are from Venus."
