Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You Want in Your Relationships
This timely classic by John Gray, Ph.D. is a must-read for anyone who is in a relationship and feels unsatisfied. In fact, I’d recommend it for anyone who has ever been in a relationship or currently is in one. It explains in straight-forward, easy-to-understand language everything you ever wanted to know about how the opposite sex communicates. Yes, it helps to know what they’re thinking if you want to do this right.
So much of relationship problems, I’ve found, can be boiled down to simple miscommunication between two partners. Men and women, quite simply, don’t usually have the language it takes to communicate effectively with one another. We place different values upon different emotions, different ways of being. And then we get so frustrated when our significant other doesn’t behave the way we think they should!! How frustrating and difficult for our relationships. And how very unnecessary.
After having a horrendous relationship, I re-read this book and realized all the things we did wrong. And that made all the difference in my current relationship, let me tell you. Now yes, John Gray makes a lot of generalizations and perhaps oversimplifies important concepts to get down to the brass tacks. But the end result is a concise, direct book which gives everyone who reads it down-to-earth advice about what to do to improve your relationship, and how to improve its quality. Buy it today, read it this week, lend it to your significant other next week, and by the end of the month, you will start seeing results.
Softcover, 286 pages.
