"Nobody understands women." Most men would agree. The accepted myth is that women are "mysterious" and "incomprehensible." But author Ken Nair, founder and president of Life Partners, attacks that myth, saying, "We as men label women as mysterious and incomprehensible because it takes the responsibility off us to become truly Christlike in our attitudes and behavior toward our wives." Discovering the Mind of a Woman is about husbands learning to understand their wives as Christ would and then learning to respond to their wives in a consistently Christlike manner. The result? Radically transformed and renewed marriage relationships. One husband who applied Ken Nair's concepts exclaimed, "Because of God's grace, I have seen my marriage turn from a disaster and near divorce into a warm, loving relationship. I am enjoying a marriage relationship that I never even dreamed possible." Drawing from his own story and the stories of many husbands whose marriages were dissolving, Ken Nair reveals: Four male prejudices about women that alienate husbands and wives; Six qualities that endear men to their wives; Five symptoms of an uncared-for wife; Six indicators of unsolved communication problems in a marriage; Three major biblical concepts absolutely vital to a successful marriage. Not only will a consistently Christlike manner revive your marriage, it will radiate out into the rest of your life to improve your relationships with your children, your coworkers, your friends -- everyone. If joy and peace are missing in your marriage, solve the mystery and discover the mind of a woman. - Back cover.

In the essays collected here, Kipnis revisits the archetypes of wayward masculinity that have captured her imagination over the years: the scumbag, the con man, the critic, the obsessive, cheaters, and many others. Examining men who have figured in her own life alongside the more notorious public examples, she draws out the masculine angst and sexual contradictions implicit in the erratic conduct of each. Far from the reactions of condescension and scorn that habitually greet such characters, Kipnis finds that they provoke in her complicated forms of sympathy and identification. Pushing past the usual cliche about differences between the sexes, Kipnis mixes intellectual rigor and careful analysis to give us an honest and compelling survey of the affinities, jealousies, longings, and erotics that structure the male-female bond"--
