Recommendation

The best advice resonates deep inside you, causing you to think “of course, I knew that.” As you read this classic by relationship guru John Gray, you’ll find yourself smiling, nodding your head in agreement, and marveling at the simplicity and truth of his advice. Groundbreaking when first published, this manual details the differences between how men and women process emotions, handle stress, and communicate needs and feelings. It also explains how they want their partner to love them. Gray points out how men and women often overlook these essential differences when dealing with each other in relationships. getAbstract predicts that once you read Gray’s guide, you’ll understand why people often refer to it as “the book,” and why it has helped millions of couples everywhere improve their communication and understanding.

Take-Aways

  • Men and women in relationships share common complaints about the opposite sex.
  • Often, they misunderstand how the opposite sex wants to be loved.
  • When a woman shares her problems, she’s seeking empathy, not solutions.
