Do Men Value Relationship Less than Women?

In his best-selling book The Way Of The Superior ManChapter 7, “Your Purpose Must Come Before Your Relationship”, David Deida writes: “If a man prioritizes his relationship over his highest purpose, he weakens himself, disserves the universe, and cheats his woman of an authentic man who can offer her full, undivided presence.” Quite a statement, huh?

While many would agree that it’s hard to find happiness in relationship if you are not happy with yourself, for both men and women,... it appears that men may be more hard-wired by nature to focus on their purpose or on hunting the deer “at the expense of” the relationship… or is it “for the sake of” the relationship and the age-old fending for his survival, and that of his loved ones?
