Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is an invaluable resource for improving relationships.

I have never read another book that has managed to hit the nail so squarely on the head when describing the whys and whens behind "alien" behavior. I cannot believe how many times I have taken a man's behavior personally, judging his actions from the standpoint of why I, myself, would act in such a way, rather than understanding these things make perfect sense to him, and that some of my behavior is just as puzzling to him. This book teaches you how to overcome this type of miscommunication.

This book will decode for you mysterious behaviors such as "Mr. Fix It," the phenomenon of "the cave," lack of/initiating motivation and "strange" translations of what you may believe to be be plainly obvious statements. For the guys, the decoding includes how to initiate the release of (female) resentment, reasons for talking, the miscommunication of what may sound like blame and the phenomenon of the "well." For everyone, there is great information about differing emotional needs, respectful communication, asking for/receiving support, and avoiding arguments. I thought John Gray's analogies were right on the money.

With this blueprint for communication, you cannot help but bring more ease into the relationship you have with your favorite alien. This is the original foreign language dictionary for relationships, and it is still the best.
