Revised and Updated Edition: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Women for Men

John Boice: There is no Scripture in this Christian book, all the data comes from surveys, and Christ is not placed at the centre of a couple's hope and love for one another.

Shannen: This is one of my favorite relationship books and I recommend it to every couple.

I am the wife and read this to see if this was applicable to me, and I will say that I learned more about myself than I thought I would. I realized what I was feeling and finally how to convey my feelings thanks to this book. I gave it to my husband to read, telling him if he really wanted to understand me, this book explains it. Since he has read it, he really has been applying it and we have greatly improved our communication. Many a dumb argument has been extinguished at the start and I feel the care. In turn, I had purchased and read the Only for Women book, and with the knowledge of both books in my arsenal, I am able to convey my feelings better and understand why I react to some things, myself.

I also really appreciate how this book offers statistics and common answers among common people in order to find out why the majority of people feel and react the way they do, rather than a therapist offering their opinions. I don't think I've gotten such accurate answers before. I also found this book to be funny and I genuinely enjoyed reading it. This one more so than Only for Women....

Mikazuki: The author had a strange writing style that was hard to follow at times. He would write as he was trying to speak to you but I was lost most of the times. Otherwise, the book offered a great overview of the mind's of women. There were certain chapters that stood out like the sex chapter.

Warkwark: I brought this book as a half-joke for a man who was always wondering why the different genders took completely different approaches to things and why women are 'confusing'. It's light hearted, easily accessible and carries some thought provoking ideas, even just dipping in and out the pages was interesting. It contains a nice mixture of bullet points, tables, quotes and explanations, as well as a quick start guide at the back.

The book itself is written by a man, who has had several deep and meaningful conversations with his wife and has gone down the route of unlocking and then explaining how women think. Even women who read the book were surprised when seeing it from a different perspective as the author manages to sum everything up well. For example, he explains the thought processes of men and women by describing them as computers and goes on to describe the different aspects of that, such as men having a screensaver up sometimes, and women having an endless amount of windows, some of which pop up randomly.

A fantastic read, and succeeds where many books fail. It's clear, accessible, sensible and once you've read it, everything fits together and what used to be...

Matt101: In brief my reasons for getting this are that my fiencee left and had an affair and I'm left wondering what my role was in that.

This is a great book I love the feel of it size and paper and the layout is very easy to read like bite size pionts. The font size is great and there are the occasional survey showing womens answers.

On just having a quick look its touching on issies I definatly need to have explained. Ill actually be able to show my woman (when I'm ready for the relationship) that I really love her and make her feel secure and loved. Great.

Also in the back there's a 'qiick start' guide as if she were a DVD player. Brillant!

I'm currently working on every aspect of my being confidence, communication, attraction and sex. Of all the books so far this format is by FAR the best and not too heavy. Its easy to grasp and should be easy to implement.

Made up I got this it will definatly make a massive difference. I'm excited about getting whome I want making her happy and keeping her. With this book those aims are highly possible.

Gabriel Emanuel Borlean: INTRO:
Following the popularity of "Foe Women Only", the Feldhahn team decided to answer the demand (of women ... and men) for a men's version book. Through extensive field research Jeff Feldhahn, came up with 6 areas that are essential for any married couple, areas that are not only important but also critical/imperative to a wife's happiness: "Reassurance," "Emotions," "Security," "Listening," Sex, Beauty.

AUTHORS:
Authors write from a Christian perspective (meaning, at seldom places they quote the Bible or biblical principles for supporting the values espoused herein). Tha authors also write in a very easy and non-judgemental and common-sense language. In the sex chapter, the authors recommend a couple of books, and also throught the whole book, there are several mentions and reference to read "Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs" by Emerson Eggerichs.

CONTENT:
I will just quote some part to give you an idea/flavor/gist of the subject material:

¤ CH.2 "Reassurances" or "The Deal is Never Closed" - "Even if you relationship is great, your mate likely has a fundamental insecurity about your love - and when...

finsalscollons: Being a man, I am always willing to learn more about female psychology. The problem with the books about this topic is: they are few (women are more interested in reading books about male psychology than the other way around) and they contradict each other. This book adds to the confusion giving some advice which flies in the face of other books I have read.

This is a book for committed relationships. And it has a Christian orientation. I don't have any problem with that. Although I am not a Christian, I am religious and Christian references don't bother me. If you happen to be offended by references about God and the Gospels, please stay away from this book.

THE GOOD:

Firstly, the book is very useful in explaining the reason about some women's behaviors which challenge men's understanding. The book is filled with truths: from the very obvious ones ("Women have lower sex drives than men in average", "Women like to solve problems by talking about them") to the not-so-obvious ones ("Women can't disconnect from a problem as easily as men do").

Secondly, the book gives some useful advice to work with the problems explained.

Thirdly, the book is well...
