Notes on our most valuable gift : Women

I learned a lot from this book.
I listened to this book while on a long flight from the United States and wrote down nearly 5 pages of notes. I'm now stationed in Iraq and before I write a letter to my wife I review the notes and will include many of the themes the author mentioned in my letters to her. Upon reading these letters my wife has now fallen more in love with me, we share a closer connection to one another and I have found a way to feed her tender heart from so far away.
The author has outlined what a woman needs from us to blossom in her relationship with us, and guys, it is so easy to do.

Better than it gets credit for

To be up front this book will not save a bad relationship, but it can make a good relationship even better.

Okay I bought and listened to this book when I was in a bad relationship. About 3 months in things started going south and being an inexperienced workaholic who had never dated much before I was certain it was I was doing wrong. I listened to this book twice, as well as other similar books. A few days shy of 6 months the relationship collapsed.

My ex's brother and sister-in-law then introduced me to a wonderful woman. She and I have been dating over a year and are engaged to be married. With this second relationship, I didn't forget the lessons of this book and those lessons have made things better.

Looking back if the lessons of this book had "saved" the relationship, I really don't think either one of us would have been happy. It just was not a good fit for either one of us.

To put it nautically, this book is not a life preserver to save the drowning, but it is a bigger sail to help people who are already in the right boat.

A great

I throroughly enjoyed this book. This is the first relationship book that I have read where it didn't seem like a thinly veiled attempt to tell men how brutish and immature we are, and how a woman's needs are everything and ours are nothing. I felt that the author first took the time to understand where I'm coming from as a man, and then, in a way that I could understand, appreciate, and relate to, explain to me what my woman needs from me and where I should start in order to give it to her. While she was candid in expressing areas that men need to change their thinking and their approach (at one point I found myself humbled almost to tears), she was also fair in pointing out that women have certain quirks and idiosyncricies that they need to adjust as well.

I really think that this book is a great "primer" for men trying to understand women, and in my opinion, it gives the needed context to all of the other books I've read on relationships. I highly recommend it.

A lot of understanding

This book helped me understand some confusions that I had in my relationships. Thank you.
It would be better if the author didn't refer the listener as "Guys" and "Ladies" too much. It doesn't feel personal that way

missed something quite big

this book is definitely spot on. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is one huge key detail. it left the very big possibility of a man reading it and saying yep, I do all of those things, the woman I have is definitely crazy. It totally misses that words are nothing without true genuine actions to back them up. Yes, women are very intuitive and it is very clear and obvious when you are going through the motions of doing all the right things just to say you did but not feeling them in your heart. you create a whole new frustration separation and feeling of hopelessness when the very things you need to feel secure from your man in his mind he is physically doing but not in the way that makes them feel genuine to you. for example, when you seem upset he asks you what's wrong. You say nothing because you need the validation that he really wants to know instead of that he is just going through the motions of asking you. After you say nothing he either daftly says okay and bustles about his day or immediately gets frustrated that you won't tell him and doesn't care to know anymore. All the woman really needed was a little reinsurance that he was asking her because he really cared. then she felt safe in leaning on him instead of feeling like her need for support was draining and demanding on him. it goes back to a verse in the Bible. Whatever you do do with love. no matter how hard you put forth the effort to go through the motions they're pointless if there is any goal other then making this the best and most satisfying relationship you can for the BOTH of you out of nothing then true love.

It is a great one!

This book really helps u to understand yourself at the first place! Being a woman myself, I still couldn't really understand and explain clearly to my man why we girls behave this or that way in some situations. I've seen myself in almost all the examples Barbara would make there. Her explanations r bright and clear. Loved it!
