The 91% Factor : Why Women Initiate 91% of Divorce, End Most Relationships, and What Can Be Done About It
by Edward Baiamonte, Ted Baiamonte
In the age of family values a truly amazing dynamic exists in heterosexual relationships that has heretofore been ignored or unknown. In fact, most marriages(and relationships) end, and they do so at the womans initiation 91% of the time. In a very dynamic social and economic environment women have stood still for 30 years having been taught the feminist excuse that men are male chauvinists or worse. Such book titles as "Men Arent Cost Effective," and "All Men Are Jerks" are now considered politically correct and acceptable by major publishers. In the course of this knee-jerk political criticism of men, women have failed to understand and examine their critical and central sexual role in relationships. "The 91% Factor:" builds on the sexual lives of 30 couples with severe relationship problems. It examines the most intimate details of their lives to explain how a reorientation of the way the women thought about their critical sexual role could have saved each re! lationship. The current divorce orientation of women,the author concludes, does not work for adults or their children since it merely leads to another marriage which statistically will be much shorter than the first and for exactly the same reason.
