Popular marriage counselor and seminar leader John Gray provides a unique, practical and proven way for men and women to communicate and relate better by acknowledging the differences between them. Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences.

Based on years of successful counseling of couples, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners. Gray shows how men and women react differently in conversation and how their relationships are affected by male intimacy cycles ("get close", "back off"), and female self-esteem fluctuations ("I'm okay", "I'm not okay"). He encourages readers to accept the other gender's particular way of expressing love, and helps men and women learn how to fulfill each other's emotional needs. With practical suggestions on how to reduce conflict, crucial information on how to interpret a partner's behavior and methods for preventing emotional "trash from the past" from invading new relationships, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a valuable tool for couples who want to develop deeper and more satisfying relationships with their partners.

  • Excellent book for couples to learn about each other

    This book provides excellent materials for couples before marriage or those who have been married for many years. I am using it with a couple now and have given them 3 assignments to each chapter. 1. What have you learned about yourself? 2. What have you learned about your spouse? 3. How can you use what you have learned? I highly recommend this book.

  • If you're married, read this book.

    I bought this when I was first married and we both read it. I had passed that copy onto my daughter and this copy I bought for a young couple I know that are struggling in their marriage. Man and woman are two different species and this book explains it well. Enjoyable read and a book you'll go back to for reference. Arrived promptly and was in excellent shape.

  • Great value, great read

    Some may think this book is a bit sexist but if read with an objective view point it is worth the read especially if you aren't used to how men think or act. I found it helpful in understanding how my boyfriend thinks. It's not 100%accurate but enough to get the gist of a man's brain.

  • This is a great read if you want to understand the differences between men and women.

    I've been to more than one counselor on marriage and they tend to stick to the surface issues of feel good feelings. This book goes deeper into the whys of the feelings. Understanding the whys helps to give meaning to the 'whats' of feelings.
