It was about whether men and women can ever really communicate with each other.

There is so much opinion on this subject. Of course down through the ages this has been a hot topic, but it seems that over the past 100 years it has had more personal relevance, because before that most marriages were arranged, and you didn't really expect to find love and romance in your marriage. Rather you were just trying to provide a safe place for the rearing of children and the preservation of the family despite all the possible ways it could be overwhelmed. There was so little effective technology for combating disease that far more children died as infants and children that today (I'm speaking of the West when I say this, because clearly there are many countries today that face the same or worse threats to survival that we in the West did 100 years or more ago).

But what this comes down to, really, is that we have come to expect more in relationships today, but most of us know no more about how to create and preserve relationships and make them thrive than our ancestors did (and they weren't even all that interested!)

So, I read this blog entry on the Scientology religion blog, and I thought what he/she wrote was so true!

The article goes into something anyone can read and learn to use from the Scientology Handbook. It's a principle called the ARC triangle, and the Handbook explains it a lot better than I can.
