Beyond Mars and Venus: Relationship Skills for Today’s Complex World

For more than twenty years, John Gray’s Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus has helped couples deepen their intimacy and rejuvenate their love lives. Men and women, it revealed, communicate so differently, we might as well be from different planets. By learning to speak each other’s language, millions of people dramatically improved, even saved, their relationships.

But the world has changed.

Today, what it means to be a man or a woman is more nuanced and complex than ever. Both men and women are now more free to move beyond the restrictions of traditional gender roles to embrace their authentic selves.

But gender freedom shouldn’t mean gender blindness. Men and women are still fundamentally different on a hormonal level. Our new needs in today’s evolving and stressful fast-paced world—to remain healthy and happy hormonally, and in the context of their relationships—are also fundamentally different.

As the roles of men and women evolve, relationships must evolve as well. To meet our new needs, we require a new kind of relationship.
