I don't want to claim that men are always the problem. No group is perfect. But I can see that a lot of times men have a great deal of difficulty validating and emotionally supporting the women in their lives.

In marriages and relationships, we often focus on the explosions -- the fights that raise our emotions and voices. What we need to look for, however, are the leaks below the surface.

The only alternative is to come to terms with the dangers and uncertainties that accompany enduring and erotically charged romantic love, to summon the bravery to remain thrilled by someone we love.
