Why Mars and Venus Collide: Understanding How Men and Women Cope Differently with Stress

Exceptional book from Dr. Gray. I recommend big time if you have read Men are From Mars Women Are From Venus. There is information that gives clarity on a lot of questions about the sexes.

I have read hundreds of books on relationships throughout the years, and this one has to be one of the greatest. There is no preaching or analyzing or judging in this book, and so men, as well as women can understand and apply it. It is all about biology and hormones and it is so accurate! There are lists of things to do to raise the levels of oxytocin and testosterone in the brain for both men and women. The information is sensational and it works! I would recommend this book to anyone in any kind of relationship. Thank you, John Gray.

It is pretty obvious that men and women are fundamentaly different. And viva the difference! The things that tick women off are a constance annoyance to men and vice versa. John Grey's Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus explains why in nontechnical terms that are easy to understand. Why Mars and Venus Collide uses the same ideas to explain the reasons men and women have trouble getting along in easily understood laymen's (and laywoman's) terms. It takes the mystery out of why your wife always has a honeydo list for you--and why your husband resists it so much. Ever notice that the things that make you happy simply irrate your mate? Grey explains why.But at the same time, and perhaps even more helpful, Grey gives you ideas that will help you understand yourself and how to deal with stress more effectively and more pleasurably. As a pastor, I found these books invaluable. I use them constantly in marriage counseling--but they come in just as handy to help me deal with committees and other groups. If you have to deal with people, you need these books.

Well worth the read. If you can just overlook the stereotypical "assignments" of women & men because in my opinion we all have a bit of androgeny (Where is spell checker on this one?) in each of us and author makes many good points. I have now re-read this book 3x over many years and have bought it to share with 1 friend and also my brother after discussing of course to make sure they knew to disregard the stereotyping and if they merely got 1 thing out of it they'd be ahead; at least that's how I felt.

Great book if you want to better understand the thought process of men and women. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to better understand their significant other.

I believe this book gives a great synopsis of the male/female communication styles. Understanding the dynamics facilitates much more productive conversations. I have referred several married (and single) couples to read the book and have also purchased copies for them. Many times men and women get frustrated with one another because it seems as though they are on different planets. This book helps to take a look at the bigger picture and takes physiology into consideration.

The general information is pretty good BUT there is such a sexist message in this. Women find someone to talk to other than your partner, limit conversations to 10 minutes or less because your partner will become burdened, get a journal or a therapist REALLY??? Women are told precisely how to alter their behavior so they do not bother, burden or overwhelm men. WTF

Dr. Gray explains thoughtfully from both a man's and woman's prospective, how the words we use to communicate are heard and perceived by each other. I can listen over and over.

This book helps me a lot.

Excellent book. Extremely helpful in understanding the opposite sex. Provides nice clear methods and understanding of our differences so we can relate better. Dr. Gray authors many great books but I found this one to be my favorite. Highly recommended.

Awsome

Its worth every penny and more. This cd is an easily listen tool if you don't have time to read his book. It has help make make sense of how stress can effort our lives and negatively effects our relationship.

Excellent purchase, good quality. Exactly what I wanted. I am still using it. Once finished, I will order another book.
