ABC joins in on a John Gray seminar in which couples are seeking help with their marital problems. It takes a very specific look at the very difficult and complicated world of the female and male relationships. He describes how the man and the woman communicate, deal with their problems, release stress, etc. and is able to show how each sex is different. John Gray shows how to accept the opposite sexes ways of dealing with everyday life situations through realizing each others differences. From this video, you will get a very large insight into the way that several couples began with difficulties, and through the advanced understanding of each other were able to work through their problems and make life worth living together.

This book is flying out of the counters in the bookstores and I understand why: it just clears things up in the relationship with your mate (previous, actual or future). It is not a heavy psychology book theory that we usually read. This is clear demonstrations on how different men and women react in same situations and on how to understand and properly respond to each others needs. For me, it has shed new lights on how to work out my love relation with my actual spouse and to understand what I was doing wrong in the past. John Gray really keeps it simple and clear. END

My Interpersonal Communications Professor played this dvd one day in class and it changed my life. Thank you Mr. Gray your amazing and so is this DVD! Need relationship answers before it's too late, order this now! Good Luck!Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

I enjoyed every part of this taping. I gives viewers a sample that married relationships take a lot of work to survive. Talks about communication techiques, how to handle stress, romancing your spouse, making time to talk, discussing issues without arguing and how to show empathy and compassion toward one another. If you're really serious about making your marriage work this is the tape to watch.

The whole dvd had about 10 minutes from John Gray, I found it disappointing, most of the dvd, show couples and their issues
with a very brief follow up. Very little substance

I teach both gender & communication and family communication and I have used this in my class. Many of Gray's principles are based on solid communication theories, and can be easily put into practice. Gray's premise is that indeed, men and women are different (most likely due to different socialization as children) and understanding and appreciating those differences are paramount to a good relationship. The book asks for compromise on both sides, and a trust between partners in a relationship. This DVD alone just gives a very brief overview of Gray's ideas, but alone, without actually reading his book, may leave some people with misconceptions about what he is suggesting. I always follow up this program with a discussion that clarifies his principles.

Awesome DVD - nice to know my husband doesn't have much to work on! ; Guess I'm one of the lucky ones in this world

this is a self-help book for relationships that has some practical insights and advice delivered in a humorous, non-preachy manner---you don't feel overwhelmed by change-your-whole-life-type programs

Our book group felt that there were some interesting points made and the book provided good insights on certain relationship issues with a fresh perspective. The point was well taken that men and women communicate differently about emotional issues. However, the group consensus was that this book did not offer any really helpful answers. It was felt that the writing was over-clarified, too repetitive, and drawn out. It almost seemed that all one had to do was read the sentences in dark print. A shorter version would have been preferred. Many were of the opinion that the book was written for a woman's improvement. The tone was condescending, often slick and arrogant. Some of the solutions Gray offers verge on the chauvinistic: go shopping, call a friend, eat something delicious. Makes one think: HOGWASH! END

I work a long day. Is it so much to ask for dinner to be waiting for me? Am I evil just because I like to watch football and knock back a couple of six packs? Don't let your woman force this stuff on you. The author is not a real man - he's obviously been whipped good.
