Russ, maybe you are from Mars,that book has been around a long time. What i gleaned from it was this-Men and Women do not come at things from the same angle. In a marriage allow for it. Too many women try to treat there DH's like girl friends. Too many men need to dial up the communication skill. In other words you have to meet people where there at.
That's what we got from it. If we got anything else-I forgot,it's been awhile.lol.

Been a while since I read it but it was brought up at a gathering the other day.
I got much the same thing, just looking for more female input.

I'm definitely not from Venus. I didn't get much out of the book, except the impression that I am not a normal woman.

I felt the same way. It was a waste of time to read.

I found it pretty accurate and enlightening. Men and women definitely see things differently and approach different situations in different ways. When they talked about "the cave" for men, I was like, "Ahhh...I see." I read it years and years ago when it first came out.
