Search - Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You Want in Your Relationships

I know many here have given this book excellent reviews, but I found it to be like it was making excuses for the behavior of men, that they just can't control it. I just don't but that.

Excellent explanation of "how the other side thinks." Well written.

Are you and your mate having troubles understanding one another? Do you feel like you've made something perfectly clear, but your mate isn't comprehending what you're saying?

This wonderful book may help you better communicate with each other. Men and women are raised differently, despite the best efforts of others to raise them equally. As children, boys create a different social community and a way of communication from girls. This gap tends to become larger the older we get. Gray provides translations of "Venusian"(woman) to "Martian"(man) and "Martian" to "Venusian". Some of the most common phrasing for both sexes is found here and will take the guessing game out of these ambigious statements for both sides.

Men and women think differently. It's something one must learn. While some people may think that this book provides "excuses" for behaviors, I simply found that it explained them. Once one understands them, one is better prepared to handle them.

Also note that in the introduction, Gray does not suggest that all females will be one way and all males will be another way. He suggests that there are two major ways of behavior and the book helps explain them.

I recommend this for all couples alongside "The Five Languages of Love" by Gary Chapman and "The Color Code" by Taylor Hartman.

Do you understand how a man thinks? Do you understand how a woman thinks? These are the questions that will help understand how to better function in any relationship. Men think one thing at a time women are web thinkers, how are your emotions on either side affecting the way you or your mate think. I really thought this book was great and I have really benefited from it. Contrary to what you think you know. Read it it is a quick read and I really think you will benefit from it. Knowledge is power.

I liked this one. I would read a few pages and then ask my huband if what I read is really how men feel, and I was surprised and learned alot from his answers.

Very good if you want to further your relationship with the opposite gender. It helps understand male/females in general, too.
