• Why the very process required for men to succeed at work often leads them t fail at love;
• Why no one benefits when we feel that God could be a she but not that the devil could also be a she;
• What both sexes can do to minimize date rape and domestic violence.

Dr. Farrell contends that the historic “battle of the sexes” has become a war in which men put their heads in the sand and hope the bullets will miss.

The potential? A transition in our love from that of role mates to soul mates.
