Ep.73 Why He Thinks Women Are Superior to Men and The Real Secret to a Fantastic Relationship
Delightful! That is how I sum up this podcast interview. I believe that it is important that men have a voice on this podcast, and it is always refreshing to get a different perspective on the intricacies of male/female relationships.
As the head of a major hospital, Ricky Arenson, MD worked with many patients who had reached 100+ years of age. He asked them what the secret to their longevity was, and surprisingly, it wasn't eating acai berries and doing yoga, it was having long-term positive relationships.
Ricky Arenson's funny yet serious book, Women are Superior to Men, explores why so many couples have the same arguments about how often to have sex, how men don't notice or pick up the mess they leave lying around, and how men communicate in grunts and jokes when women are looking for a serious conversation.
This husband and podcaster explains with science, psychology, and humor why women are superior to men and why it’s worthwhile for husbands to admit this. It's an easy guide to creating and maintaining a magical relationship filled with love, joy, and better intimacy.
One thing that cannot be overlooked is simple biology, and once we wrap our arms around the fact that men and women are wired differently, through years and years of evolution, can we have a meeting of the minds and find common ground.
You can find Ricky Arenson's book, Women are Superior to Men, on Amazon.
