Many people are lonely, or just missing out on meeting people of the opposite sex because they do not know where or how to approach them.
The chapters presented here offer thoughts on the development of mutually satisfying relationships. They are based largely on the reading and experience of the author and as such are not intended to be a definitive discourse on the topics covered. The comments are offered as something to think about in an age when great pressures are placed on both men and women in their efforts to play responsible roles in family life.
More radical elements press women to forego their femininity for across the board equality with men. They see men as the adversary to be attacked and defeated. At the other extreme there are those who believe men should be the sole providers at a time when one income families are becoming more and more disadvantaged.
Men and women, therefore, no longer have the security of a definite role in life which all of society approves for them. On the other hand, they now have more freedom to chart their own course, and live according to principles which ring true to their own inner convictions. The evaluation of the many different avenues open to them, however, can cause confusion, and the aim of the author is to make people aware of their chioces and, hopefully, to guide them to make the critically important choice of a life-partner on a sound and rational basis.
