Can we ever get along? Can we ever (truly) learn?
I wish that Dr. McClary's book really populates bookshelves of as many fellow women (and those of numerous males in women's lives as well). The self-evident and fundamental truth of life, including love life is that in order to be ready and able to give and accept love one has to love herself first. And in real life, on daily basis, in majority of situations. Accepting herself, not seeing self as a victim (naturally, unless there are REAL, substantial reasons for doing so, which is another story, serious and sad). A mature, healthy adult (i.e. the only ones we can expect to live and consume love in mature, psychological and, yes, sexual etc. ways) is not needy in unhealthy ways, is not dependent in unhealthy ways. Is not a whiner, does not succumb to all-too-broad and pervasive "victim syndrome" conveniently blaming others to be source of her unhappiness or selfdoubts. Why? Also because believing that one's happiness etc. can come (only) after the others around me change and improve means, in very real way, that I am giving up the
power
to change my life, hoping or begging that the others change. Therefore, McClary got it right, although she makes our sons (who are, after all, other women's significant others) mostly inept fools. How we, mothers, have raised so many generations of such bad boys (while managing to raise so good and victimized daughters?) Or, maybe, just maybe, nurture is still no match for nature (or large scheme of things, regardless if we believe in creation or evolution)? I am lucky that all my kids are dauhghters. I have bragging rights to raise "better half" of mankind:)

Interesting book
This is a great book for anyone who is not all there when it comes to love. A simple read, though it takes some time to digest.

Great!
Wow! I wish I'd known some of this stuff sooner... Read "
Commitment
Chronicles
" and learn how to save a marriage or just save a date! Cheryl's many years as a successful wife and mother make this an excellent book for women who want to know how to look at a relationship, whether you are in one or just trying to start out on the right foot. Whether you are married, dating, or just disgusted with the runaround, "Commitment Chronicles" is great.
