4 out of 5 stars Insightful view on relationships, May 9, 2000
Reviewer: Jennifer F. from West Des Moines, Iowa
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, by John Gray, is truly a great way to learn more about yourself and the opposite sex. I would rate this book 4 stars. One, complaint I had with it, was the book was too repetitive. This can be useful sometimes, but it gets old after a while. Also, it was very challenging to me as a reader, at least not as much as I thought it would be. The truth behind it is so true it is scary. When reading about the women, I found myself nodding all the time, in agreement. When I read bits and pieces to a couple of guy friends to get their opinion. They kept saying exactly. My step-dad even quoted the book, without reading it, about a guy's point of view. It is a very helpful guide to relationships that I think everyone in any type of relationship should read. You may even learn something about yourself. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4 out of 5 stars Loved the book, but not at first!, August 2, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Fullerton, California
A friend recommended this book to me a year ago, but I didn't want to read it at that time. But later, my 30-year old son told me he heard the cassette and liked it, so I decided to give it a try.

When I began to read the book, I was impressed with the way it described some of the differences between men and women. The book gave me a lot of insight and answered some of the questions I've puzzled about for a long time. However, I got bogged down with the book's repetitiveness.

Since my son liked the tape, I bought it (abridged) and found I liked the concepts even better in a condensed form. After listening to the cassette several times and understanding it, I enjoyed the book better, too. The wisdom of its concepts began to grow on me. Now, I often think of the concepts taught. Using them increases understanding between us in our marriage. The concepts aren't difficult, just different than what I would think up on my own. I found my husband likes the tape, too. We're going on a trip this weekend and plan to take the tape along and listen to it again.

I appreciated ways to word feelings that I couldn't think of how to express before. Sometimes feelings and words are very far apart in our heads. The book helped me to express how I feel, and it helps us to have better discussions on the way we feel without getting angry about it. I was often amazed at a concept and checked it out with my husband, and he always agreed with what was taught as a man's point of view.

This book and tape help us remember that men and women are different, and they are meant to be different! So, let's enjoy it and work together instead of complaining about it! --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

4 out of 5 stars Men Are..., September 29, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from Long Island
I'm not really a fan of John Gray but I have to give credit where it is due. This book makes the credible assertion that the sexes are created differently, physically and mentally. One is not superior, we both have wonderful attributes that when put together, can create a beautiful relationship.

It is when we don't recognize and understand those basic differences the relationship is no longer beautiful, but ragged.

One of the differences that took me forever to come to grips with is a woman's need for romance. When I understood that it was truly a need, like a husband's need for sex, I began to change my attitude toward romance.

A friend (friend of my wife) bought me The Romantic's Guide and finally I was able to do all the romantic things my wife had longed for. Our marriage is now beautiful thanks to John Gray and to The Romantic's Guide. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
