Marriage Relationships
Most self-help books define marriage problems around vague phrases such as “failure to communicate” and are often filled with dense psychological material. The book, Winning at Love is an easy-to-understand, entertaining and at times humorous book that spells out problems in more specific way. The authors even brilliantly categorize these problems into four types. The second half of the book is devoted to step-by-step guidelines, much like a how-to-fix-your-lawnmower manual, for addressing marital problems. Unique to this book is a discussion of problems encountered by men, and problems encountered in relationships in which one or both partners are alpha. What is alpha?
Alpha designates “the first” and we first started designating this to the leaders of animal packs, such as wolves. Approximately 40% of all males and females are alphas. The alpha is usually the strongest and the bravest, the leader of the pack. They possess such attributes as dominance, confidence, and a take-charge attitude. The alpha has a high level of self-directedness, as they doggedly go about their goals. Alphas are usually aggressive, competitive high achievers, with a strong sense of mission and can be bold, creative innovative thinkers. Often highly successful in the world, the alpha’s traits of persistence, tenacity, determination and steadfastness help them to achieve their goals.
However, these very traits can contribute to marriage problems, or, can destroy a relationship. Even if eighty percent of what an alpha does is really good for the relationship, the twenty percent that he or she does out of their alpha attitude and behavior is enough to blow up the relationship.
This book addresses these marriage problems, as well as other problems encountered when working at establishing a healthy marriage relationship. These include problems secondary to gender differences. Women are both neurologically hard-wired and culturally trained to have an easier time expressing their feelings, paying attention to the feelings of those around them and navigating the waters of relationship.
Don’t despair, guys! With information, learning new skills and practice, practice, practice, you have learned to improve your golf game, or to fly-fish or market successfully. With this book, marriage problems will be a thing of the past! This book is also a must for women wanting to better understand their man, men and women who are in a marriage in which one or both partners are alpha, and any couple wanting to successfully address marriage problems.
