Critic reviews

"A valuable, much-needed book. A contribution to the understanding of the communication styles of men and women." (Harville Hendrix, PhD, author of Getting the Love You Want)

Great book to understand men and women

Wanted to listen to it over again because it has so much valuable content.

This book and it's concepts are life changing!

Great book. A must read if you want to improve your relationship with the other gender. Thanks for the great insights!

Going through a phase

Im currently going through a phase to where i learned to have "Resolution based conversations" due to having a long roller coaster type relationship and this book gives me a great understanding and validation that i needed.

Must read for everyone

This book is simply incredible in so many ways. It's breaks down and made easy to understand the highly complex differences between men and women at the core. But most importantly, it gives a lot of profound insight on how we are emotionally as human beings and how our past and subconsciousness control our day to day. Easy listen and is so useful.

Good resource

Good information but the examples became annoying to listen to after s while. OverAll very helpful in relating and communication skills

Interesting listen that is quite insightful

Very interesting content. I'm glad I listened to this because I learned quite a bit of information.

everyone should hear this

This should be a prerequisite for getting married and should be rediscovered every fee years.

Incredibly insightful

I found Dr. Gray's book to be full of very insightful, very practical information. He is very specific and uses examples that make it easy to understand the point he is making. After listening to the book, I found myself thinking and reacting very differently to communications with family, friends and colleagues. I found myself thinking more about my own reactions the things and more fully understanding the "why". This book should be required reading for every couple!!

MUST READ FOR EVERY MARRIED COUPLE

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I think anyone that is in a relationship should read this, maybe divorce rate wouldn't be so high.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus?

The time he realized himself how he treated his wife, what inspiried him to write this book and how they did it together, shows me with just alittle support from each other, that you can change your marriage for the better. I has given me hope and the will to want to be a better wife.

What does John Gray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Understanding of how your partner thinks and reacts to what we say, it's a game changer.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Listen to me,we can fix anything

Any additional comments?

I have always heard the title of this book but never got it until my husband and I separated because he thinks I am jealous. I realized I was going to loose everything I want in my life and I needed to change, but I didn't know where to start. That brought me to seek theraphy, after a session one day I asked her is there anything I can read that will help my marriage? She handed me this book. I thought okay,but I went home and just after reading the first three pages it had me. I hate reading but was willing to do anything at this point. I read it on my lunch hour, after work and by the next week I needed to bring it back but wasn't finished to I downloaded on my kindle, then got in audio book on my phone. I have since bought another book same title but "together forever". It is good too. not finsihed with it but on my way.I am traveling three hours a day to work I will need to do another audio book to complete it to. My husband works out of the country a lot, before the last trip I bought this book for him to read. I wasn't sure if he would read it but, he has not sure if he has finished it yet, but he told me it was good and feels it has helped him also. I hope these books are the ticket to getting my husband back, and I hope this book has helped him to realize his faults in communication break down we have. I now understand the jealousy he referres to is being needy and consuming his time. Not jealousy over a woman, thats what I thought he meant and I just kept thinking why is saying that I don't think he has another woman? But after reading this I understand his point of view and I hope he understands me too. I just want him to listen, not fix me. Listening fixes me, it makes me feel needed and loved because he is being a friend not a boss. He will be coming home next week and we have plans to talk. I hope he will be more open to trying to work this out together. I don't want to loose him,he is the one for me. I hope my story can make you understand your partner to and apply this lessions to your life. Thank you John Gray and your wife for making me see my husband and I in a different way. If my marriage doesn't make it, It has still given me insight I need to have a relationship with someone that does want one with me someday. Thanks again.
