chapter 1...

Imagine that men are from Mars and women from Venus. One day long ago, the Martians, looking through their telescopes, discovered the Venusians. Just glimpsing the Venusians awakened feelings they had never know. They fell in love quickly, invented space travel and flew to Venus.

The Venusians welcomed the Martian with open arms. They had intuitively known that this day would come. Their hearts opened wide to a love they had never felt before…

The love between them was magical and they delighted being together. Though from different worlds, they reveled in their differences and spent months learning about each other, exploring and appreciating their different needs, preferences, and behavior patterns. For years they lived together in love and harmony…

Then they decided to fly to earth. In the beginning everything was wonderful and beautiful. But the effects of the earth’s atmosphere took hold and one morning everyone woke up with a peculiar kind of amnesia – selective amnesia.

Both the Martians and Venusians forgot that they were from different planets and were suppose to be different. In one morning, everything they had learned about their differences was erased from their memory…and since then, men and women have been in conflict…
