Pretty good book

My girlfriend recommended this book to me and I was actually pretty skeptical, however, after reading through half the book it has explained a lot about relationships and it has explained a lot about my own relationship. I feel that I have benefited from reading it but some people may not. The mars/venus comparison is a little cheesy but after awhile I just got used to it. Overall it is a good read and I would recommend it to those who are looking to improve their relationships and are trying to understand their partners better.

Simplistic

This book can be summed up in three simple words, "People are different". Period. While it is true that gender does have an impact on how we behave, so does race, culture, religion, language, education, intelligence and many other factors. Men and women come in as many different personalities as they do shapes and sizes. Making assumptions about people who like to hide out in caves or join home improvement committees and the like may not be helpful because not everyone fits Gray's generalizations. If in a relationship (of any kind), we all remember that the way others see and react to the world is not necessarily the same as the way we see and react to the world and if we communicate effectively with our partner to understand our differences, then we have a reasonable chance at success.

Worth your while

Once in a while a book speaks so strongly to so many people, that it does the impossible. It is popular and worthwhile. The best part is that this book gives simple pragmatic execrcises to change communication for the better. Get the book and stay married. Another great reading that I recommend is "In the meantime" by Vanzant

He really puts things into simple terms, he makes it so you understand and really grasp what he's trying to point out. I liked the book so much I made my boyfriend read it, and now we have a new appreciation for eachother, and when we dont seem to have things under control in certain situations, I just tell him to remember one part in the book and we talk about it like the author explains. I really recommend this book, even for teenage relationships - most books base it on "marrage" or many years of being with one person.

John Gray helps the reader in a child story like way throught different qualities men and women express. Great. Those you can figure most of this stuff out with a few well spent nights meditating. If you lack the time. Well get the book it really will clear up alot of communication differences between men and females.
