Once again, it is time for a refresher course inspired by the teaching of four-time podcast guest John Gray, the #1 bestselling relationship author of all-time with his Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus franchise.

In this highlight episode, you will hear life-changing advice and insights into relationship health, including the specific “assignments” John Gray has designated for men and women and why. You will learn about the importance of being a “Kung Fu Master”, why men should never speak when they have a negative emotional charge, and the #1 danger women face today.

I also include tips from author David Deida, talk about the effects of complaining or nitpicking and what happens when you instead express everything as a preference, and how to overcome emotionally fragile reactions. You will also learn what causes arguments to escalate, why women just need to vent, what kills the passion in a relationship, what causes women to end up anxious and depressed, and more details about the different fundamental biological drives and hormonal underpinnings that influence our behavior and wants and needs. 

 

TIMESTAMPS:

After the first two highlight podcasts, Brad looks at relationship insights. [01:04]

The male’s relationship assignment is to be a kung fu master by remaining calm, cool and collected. [02:43]

The female needs to vent, to talk out her problems, concerns, challenges, and complaints. [09:55]

Leave the petty grievances alone.  Decide what is really important. [14:59]

The female should never complain and nitpick your male partner. [18:11]

You are responsible for your own happiness. You cannot depend on another person to make you happy. [20:10]

The evolving culture and evolving relationship roles lead to challenges, mainly with the female. [23:23]

Another dynamic is the increased isolation of society. [26:16]

John Gray’s anatomy of an argument: Female feels unhappy and starts to feel disconnected. The males responds by telling her why she shouldn’t feel that way.  [30:27]
