It deals with the issues of marriage and relationships with intelligence, strength and sensitivity, yet it shows men how to be fully masculine in their marriages.

Straight Talk for Men about Marriage tells you:

• How to play to your strengths while respecting your partner's concerns
• How to make sex more fulfilling—for both of you
• How to have the kind of relationship where you never again hear those dreaded words: 'We need to talk about our relationship.'
  

Written by a man who confronted the truth about his own marriage, this is a book that will help you get from 'I do' to 'What did I do?' to I'm glad I did!'

Men in marriages have different challenges than their wives - and different inherent strengths. Marty Friedman has discovered three keys to make marriage work better for men - simple, down-to-earth principles that any man can use to navigate the twisting course of a lasting marriage. Marty found these keys after struggling for many years in his own marriage, facing practically every kind of issue that a man can be tested by.

Marriage can be difficult and frustrating. Many men feel that only women have the keys to understanding and working with relationships and marriage, and they are willing to face their marriage only when their spouses force them. This abdication of power and commitment weakens men and hurts their marriage. Marty has discovered that marriage is worth a man's time and effort, because it can become a source of tremendous joy and life-long growth.

About the author:

Since 1976, Martin Friedman has instructed more than 2000 management and communication seminars in organizations throughout the U.S., and for 28 years he has practiced Siddha Yoga Meditation. When his 20 year marriage 'hit a wall', Marty realized that he was not fully integrating basic communication principles that he had been teaching as a management trainer. This realization led to a breakthrough in how he experienced the meaning of marital commitment, and the insights that followed changed how he looked at a man's role as a husband.

Researching the field of marriage, and combining what he learned in his family life with his knowledge of relationship and communication skills, he developed three practical, clear principles to help men in marriage. Marty's seminars and individual consulting educate men by providing effective tools for becoming more powerful and alive in their marriages. He is the author of Straight Talk With Men About Marriage: 3 Steps For A Greater Life With A Wife.

Marty Friedman lives with his wife, Ambuja, and two of their three children in Palo Alto, California.
