Yesterday, I saw the Sex and the City movie and I also finished the book - March - by Geraldine Brooks.

Even though these stories could not be more opposite - Sex and the City is about 4 women friends in modern day New York City and March is about a husband/father serving as an army chaplin during the Civil War, there were some striking similarities between the two.

In both, male and female characters miscommunicate, get angry at each other and must learn to forgive transgressions both big and small. They must also deal with their own imperfections and try to be better people.

Which makes me think that when it comes to relationships, men and women have been dealing with the same issues since the beginning of time. Oy. Someone pass me a cosmo please.
