It's a very interesting book. I has helped me to understand my husband better.
Everybody should take a look on it.

I have never come across such an informative and helpful book in improving relationships by understanding the opposite sex. This has improved me in maintaining the equilibrium of the relationship I have. The illustration is perfect so as to have a step-by-step lesson about relationships.
Kristen

Very helpful in relationship conflicts... I did not realize how much I did in this book... Now I know what to fix and do differently!

An Unexpected Suprise
As a single 21 year-old male, the last thing I wanted to do was read books about relationships and marriage. But, when a close friend recommended that I buy and read this book, I reluctantly did so. Right from the start I found this book enjoyable and easy to read. Dr. Gray has a good sense of humor and fun analogies that not only make the book enjoyable to read, but also makes the subject much easier to understand.

As suggested by the title, this book talks about how men and women sometimes seem like they’re from different planets. They speak different languages and have completely different cultures, but for one reason or another they just can’t seem to stay away from each other. John Gray doesn’t focus on how we can change ourselves. In fact, he doesn’t even suggest it. What he does in this book is he teaches how men and women act differently and helps us to better understand each other.

While I read this book, perhaps the thing that surprised me most is that I seldom found myself thinking, “Maybe I can use this later when I’m married, but not right now.” In this book, John Gray not only addresses men and women who are in relationships, but men and women in general. This book was constantly reminding me of people that I already knew and loved such as my mother, and my sisters. It opened my eyes and I finally started to understand why they would do or say certain things and it helped to know how to respond appropriately. Dr. Gray’s book is best summarized when he said, “When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.”

Now, while this book is a great tool for being able to understand the opposite sex, it definitely isn’t a cure-all. Everybody is different and we each possess our own individual traits and qualities that make us who we are, and it’s important to understand that the things discussed in this book might not apply to everybody. Even if that’s the case, the most important thing that anybody can learn from this book is that we all need to learn to accept our differences and learn to understand and respect each other. These skills are invaluable in any relationship and will improve the life of anybody who implements them.

Where physical attraction cannot be relied on for stability and continuity of happy married life, the basic tool of understanding between martian and venusian holds the potential for both to become reality, as well as promising to build an university of love..
This book would be an excellent guide to lead toward those people who would like to make life great and most in terms of personal fulfillment. some points are repeated but this is the process to embed in our heart.- - A main aim of DR. JOHN GRACY.

this book infact is an ultimate choice for the people who want to have better and satisfying relationships.
keep it up

good book basically but far too repetitive and would have been much better abbreviated
peach

The basic information can be helpful, but the whole thing could be reduced to about 25 pages. Most of it is nonsense and repitition.
