Have you read The Way of the Superior Man, by David Deida? H read it recently, read some to me, and I'm going to read it this week while H is away. H got a lot out of it.
Parts of it sound pretty x-rated, so don't pick it up if that would be disturbing, but philisophically-speaking, it sounds quite enlightening.
It sounds like it's all about the "masculine" and the "feminine". H said that there was a chapter regarding what happens to the W when she doesn't feel supported in the R. He said that part of it explained my response to a T.
I think our son(24) even read it (he's a deep kid). I know that H wanted him to.
