I was chatting the other day with a male freind. He is having some serious marital issues and ended up buying a book that he thought would enable him to understand women better and anticipate his wife's needs in order to make the marriage work. There was one point he made that made me sit up and take notice. He said that in his eyes and many of his male friend's eyes, most women have a hidden agenda. This agenda could mean many different things. Do you think the same way?

Absolutely not . I knew of no hidden agendas in all my past relationships . If you are married you are supposed to work hard to make the family be together and be happy .

My exgf definatley had an agenda!!!! In my marriage of 10 yrs, I dont think she had an agenda, but had expectations that were materialistic. I dont think all women have agendas or alterior motives, but I would have to say that if they dont, then there is a very high percentage that have high expectations. JMO

He's told me a lot about what he's learned from reading it, and I am truly amazed at the accurate info that it contains. And it was written by a man!

I can only speak from personal experience. It does happen and it stings. I don't think this applies to "most" women however. You can read all the books in the world but that only teaches you how to deal with the problem............

All I can say is kuddos to him for wanting to try to keep his marriage together if more tried both men/women as hard to keep it together as they do splitting it up maybe more marriages would last longer....... Myself I don't feel that I have and hidden agenda heck mine are all laid out in the open from the beginning....
