                   THE NUMBER ONE RULE
      Once we're in a relationship, as Sherlock Holmes would say, "The games's afoot".  And what a game we men and women
play with each other in our struggle to get what we want from one another.  As you may already painfully be aware, we all too
often don't get what we want or may even get more than we bargained for.  
      And this game certainly doesn't end with marriage. Although the way we play, that is the way we relate to one another, may
change, the game continues.  And it will continue as long as there are men and women on this earth.
      Many of you may be tired of playing games, of winning here and losing there, of disappointments, rejection and the
relentless power struggles.  But as long as you have any contact with the opposite sex, there's no avoiding it.
      Let's take a look at just one example of what may be happening, which is just the tip of the iceberg.  He may think, "I can't
let her have her way too much, because then I'll be a loser, a wimp."  Or she might think, "Why doesn't he do it?  I've told him
so many times."  There are bills to pay for this, and so many pay heavily before it's over.  This happens
because men and women
have not learned how to
master the man/woman game.  Mind you, when we talk about mastering, we're not talking about the
dominance of one over another.  We are talking about winning, but not at the expense of your partner.  On the contrary we're
talking about win/win solutions.  
This is the most important rule for winning the game, and is especially true because in any
committed relationship where an element of caring and particularly love are part of the formula, if one partner loses, then both
lose.  So mastering this universal, complex and exciting game is learning how to ensure that everyone gets what he or she wants
or at the least, is not just content, but deeply gratified with whatever mutual decisions are made.  In fact, when a couple
really
plays this game at the master level, this results in a woman being truly desired, found very attractive, paid attention to,
understood and deeply valued as a person by her partner and a man being considered the "greatest" in all aspects of his endeavors
(including sexual) by his.  In short,
the woman is truly fulfilled and the man is triumphant.
      
No need to live a life driven by a painful past, living a make do present and looking at a future of non-possibility.   
      
Are you ready to learn how to play the game at the master level?  Okay, let's begin and play to win--let's all win.
