The Adam and Eve Sindrome Book

What is the secret of a happy marriage? What causes divorce, and what prevents it? What is the proper relationship between men and women? The scenario is familiar: a man and a woman - two intelligent, kind, well-meaning people, start a relationship . . . and within a period of time . . . hate each other. Or another scenario: you wake up one day and see the person you married, and ask yourself, "Who is this stranger?" Why? Roy Masters, in his classic masterpiece of psychological insight The Adam & Eve Sindrome, explains with stunning clarity the underlying dynamics of the male/female relationship. Modern-day America is filled with divorce, antagonism, tension, and even violence between the sexes. Why? How do so many marriages begin in love and end in divorce - and how can we prevent it? The answer, Masters explains, lies in ancient wisdom: the age-old story of Adam and Eve. The story of Adam and Eve is not merely a historical fable, but is a living archetype, a pervasive pattern of male-female relationships which is continually re-enacted by individuals everywhere. The story of Adam and Eve story contains the underlying reasons why well-meaning men and women hope to find heaven - but too often, find hell. But there is a solution: beyond both patriarchy and matriarchy, relationships can be rooted in sanity, clarity, and real love, when they are based on ancient and hidden principles of self-knowledge. This provocative, revolutionary and eye-opening work is a unique and brilliant psychological analysis which far surpasses the ineffectual feel-good relationship therapies so prevalent today, and lays bare the real mechanics of the male-female dynamics. Find out what is really going on between men and women; discover the secrets of a successful marriage, the true reasons for divorce, the dynamics of real love, and much more in the provocative and life-changing book.Read More
