Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex this question feed

asked by iconfess on November 15, 2006 10:14 AM
Relationship counselor John Gray focuses on the differences between men and women--men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, after all--and offers a simple solution: couples must acknowledge and accept these differences before they can develop happier relationships. In this unabridged version, Gray gives a spirited delivery of his message, especially when role-playing typical male/female interactions. Although it takes some time to adjust to his slightly nasal tone, the information is sound and gives both men and women helpful hints on improving themselves and their union. (Running time: 9.5 hours, 6 cassettes) --Sharon Griggins

When I read this, I thought, wow this explains almost every disagreement or conflict I've had with partners in the past. I love the chapters, "men are rubber bands" "women are waves" and about the six aspects of love that men vs. women want. Incredibly useful reading

Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in they forgot they were from different planets. Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now viewed as a modern classic, this phenomenal book has helped men and women realize how different they really are and how to communicate their needs in such a way that conflict doesn't arise and intimacy is given every chance to grow. Don't be too surprised when you are reading this book and you recognize someone and some situation that is eerily like your own.

If you are young, under 30, this is a good guide to help you figure out your path through the minefields of trying to understand the other sex. If you are older, this is a good refresher course on things you may have already learned (or things that you missed) in the school of everyday life. For both younger and older readers this is a very good tool to help you understand yourself and others.

This book has really good advice and insight that makes sense. The only downside is that the references to "martians" and "venusians" gets annoying after awhile.
