The Xanthippe Factor: How Can Couples Overcome Today`s Challenges (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781720118459)

The Xanthippe Factor deals with the relationship between men and women in marriage. It examines what happens to love in the various stages of the relationship, why so many men and women are unhappy with their marriages, and what can be done to make long lasting and loving relations that fit the world in which we live.

The Xanthippe Factor argues that marriage has remained largely unchanged since the time of the famous Greek philosopher Socrates and his wife Xanthippe without adapting to the modern complexities of life in general and marriage in particular. Most women are working today outside the home and still carry more responsibility than men inside the house. This may lead to a phenomenon in which loving and caring women become critical and angry wives, in short - Xanthippes.

The book confronts the reader with basic questions about the relationships between men and women in marriage: i.e., role division, parenting, sex, and disagreements - and provides insights, solutions, and tools about how couples can overcome marriage pitfalls and improve their relationships.
