One of the Best Books on Relationships I've Ever Read

True intimacy is one of the most important factors in the success of our relationships, but it's also one of those things we tend to take for granted. Achieving true intimacy is a difficult thing to do, especially if you don't know how to do it the right way. This book is definitely different from any other book I have ever read on relationships. It focuses on one of the most important relationships we ever have, and that's the love relationship between a man and a woman. (The man/woman relationship is the most important relationship on earth as it is the earthly representation of Christ's relationship with the church, his bride.) One of the most important myths that Masters breaks down is the idea that you can have an intimate relationship with someone else if you introduce sex too soon into the relationship. To introduce it at all before marriage often has the effect of corrupting the relationship and ruining it for good. He also exposes all of the myths related to what real love really is. Too often real love and what is really lust get confused with one another. Masters demonstrates the weakness here, as well as the problems it causes. There is a whole lot more. I've never read anyone else who exposed the weaknesses of relationships the way Masters does, but reading this book did show me why every relationship I've ever had with the men I've been involved with in my life failed. Once you understand that part, it makes it a whole lot easier to find a relationship that is right for you. Even if you think you are in a successful relationship, you will still want to read this book. It will help you see just how healthy your relationship is and if it's really not, help you get it on the road to healing. It is ironic that one of the most important relationships we ever have is one that we really put so little care into. Regardless of the condition of your relationship though, you will want to read this book.

Insightful

This book saved my marriage which was falling apart in 1982. Learning how to respond by not responding with resentment/hate to the many antics of my husband wound up saving it. The relationship gets better all the time. It's not a question of equality, I grew in spite of my husband not growing. But once I began to react properly, it took the wind out of the beastly husband's sails. He was forced to calm down and face himself. I just watched him go nuts until he burned himslef out. I continue to do it and he cannot, does not, choose to come against me any more.

Roy Masters is a Genius of Human Nature

Even though this book, "The Adam and Eve Sindrome", communicates those unique differences of men and women behaviors over and over ---differentially and comparatively, it is precisely the repeating of those combinations of differences that makes this essay awaken the minds eye, revealing a possibility that modern experimental humanist thinkers never will admit: Men are addicted to love (physical love). How we, as men, face this addiction and live as real human beings, again, is what this book reveals. Roy Masters is harsh and to the point in how real men should live in relationship with woman, and, how real woman respond to these real men. The book the "Adam and Eve Sindrome" is simple to read and makes an especially useful book for men who are dating, considering marriage or suffering from the "7 Year Itch" guy. You need to read this book and really understand you are not just an animal. Be as men should be -- Don't pass up this book.

Roy Masters sheds light on the universally mysterious man/woman relationships in this insightfull book. You may come away with a restored marriage and and even a restoration of your Faith in God. By discussing the parralells in the Adam and eve Account in Genesis, with modern man, Roy Masters sheds light on the questions of why men and woman seem to be so much at odds with each other while at the same time in dire need for each other. He discusses the subtle underpinnings in the different ways in which men and women relate to their worlds.
