It is too bad that the 2 star reviewer based their opinion on an article rather than the book. If they had read the book in its entirety, I think it would have put the article in context and they probably wouldn't have been so defensive.

I have never felt the need to write a review but I will do so for this book and I'm recommending it to all of my married AND single friends. If you can, take advantage of the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon to preview what you're getting when you buy this book because the snippets I read convinced me that I had to read the whole thing.

Although the book is targeted towards men, I found that I could also identify with a lot of the things he discussed. My husband and I get along pretty well for the most part but we couldn't seem to get past bickering and fighting over small things. Friedman put a lot of things into perspective for me...and when I convince my husband in a loving, uncritical way to finish reading the book, I think that our marriage will start taking a much better path.

Got this, read some, gave to husband (that's who I bought it for) he read a few paragraphs but has not picked it up again. It's a great book with great insite if you can get them to read it!

Since time immemorial, men and women have engaged in an endless battle of the sexes. The crux of the conflict? The ongoing struggle to communicate. Though husbands and wives may genuinely love one another, that love is often not enough to overcome the typical gender-based barriers that tend to divide them. As a result, men and women remain at perpetual odds, each forever striving to either outwit or outlast the other's efforts.

In the pages of Straight Talk For Men About Marriage, though, author Martin Friedman provides couples with a lasting balm that may just heal the residual wounds stemming from communication conflict for once and for all. In disarming fashion, Friedman outlines the crucial keys that men must use in order to mold their marriages into more fruitful, harmonious unions. Likewise, he also treats women to a special peek into the male mindset, helping to foster within them a deeper understanding of precisely why men think and act the ways that they do. All in all, Straight Talk ultimately proves to be just as valuable - if not moreso - as any advice from a therapist or marriage counselor.

Presented in clear, straightforward language, Straight Talk For Men About Marriage is a solid roadmap for marital success to which readers from all walks of life are sure to relate. An enjoyable, enlightening read.
