Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2017Verified Purchase
My husband and I read these companion books together and its been an amazing experience. I read the men only one first and personalized it for my husband so he could understand me more, by making notes, and highlighting things etc. My husband did the same to the women only book, and then we switched. Wow has this made a difference in our marriage. Its as if lightbulbs went off in both our minds. I definitely recommend these to any couple whether you feel like you need them or not.

I have been so disappointed in her books for women. She takes the position that men just can't stop themselves from looking at women and having a mental and/or biological response. She doesn't seem to allow for the work of the Spirit a Christian receives upon salvation. A teenage boy is going to look and respond. A married man has to learn to exercise discipline. Christian or not. Jesus said, "to look upon a woman with lust in your heart is to commit adultery." He didn't allow room for "men are just wired that way" so neither should we.

I am in my 30s, been married for 4 years, and am a full-time working mom. My marriage has been in distress, and my husband refused to go to counseling. I purchased this book in hopes of finding some guidance.
The book is a very quick read. I was surprised at how small the book actually is; however the book is loaded with information. I liked that it was written from the women's perspective and that the author provided stories about her struggles with her husband. The information was very relatable, and I definitely had a couple of "ah-ha!" moments. There were passages that seemed to describe my husband perfectly. I am not very religious; however I was not turned off by the biblical references.
My question is, now what??! I am not sure how to implement changes to improve my marriage. The book explains that a husband absolutely needs to be respected and affirmed. There was a little guidance, but I need help with how to really implement changes. The lack of practical tips left me disappointed, but overall I thought the message of the book was very helpful. The survey results are undeniable and help me understand the importance of respect in a marriage.
My husband and I are stuck in a cycle of lack of respect on my part and lack of love on his part. I am very hurt and angry, but I want to better my marriage. I am going to try the following actions for the next 30 days to see if there is an improvement. I have not talked to my husband about this book yet, I am going to wait to see if I get results.
My 30-day action plan:
1) Always accept his opinion and judgement on a matter and only offer my opinion if asked
2) Initiate casual physical connections at least once a day (ie: rubbing shoulders, sitting next to on couch, etc.)
3) Initiate sex at least once a week
I will give an update regarding the results. I am unsure about item #1 above. I consider myself a modern feminist; however I know that my husband thinks that I am critical and demanding. I am hopeful that by acting more respectful that he will in turn actively seek out my opinion so we have an equal relationship. I certainly don't have anything to lose at this point. I already thank him on a regular basis for important little things that he does to help with our child and around the house. I also tell him that I love him and always ask him about his day. (Wish he would do the same for me!) Any other tips would be appreciated!
UPDATE 05/08/2013:
We are definitely in a much better place in our relationship now compared to 30 days ago. I did not follow my plan exactly as I had intended, but I did make a lot of changes. I also learned a lot about how I treat my husband and how I need to continue to change.
Comments about my specific action plan steps:
1) I often forgot that my plan was to always accept his opinion. I need to work on this area. I have found that if I carefully listen to what he has to say, acknowledge what he has said, and then offer my two-cents - he is much more open to my opinion. Or if I wait awhile and then later offer my opinion, that works too. My DH just really wants to feel that he is heard and that his opinion is respected.
2) I often forgot to initiate casual physical connections until the very end of the day. I admit that it felt like a chore on my "to-do" list which is really horrible. It made me realize how much our relationship has changed from our early courtship to now being parents of a toddler. I am working on being more casually physical, and my DH seems to really appreciate it. He has been reciprocating quite a bit.
3) I only did this once the whole month. Epic fail on my part. I am committing to implementing this step during the next 30 days.
Although I was not successful at carrying out each action step - it did open my eyes in a big way. I realize that I can make a lot of positive changes in our relationship. I also realized that I critique my husband A LOT about things around the house that need to be done or should have been done differently. He NEVER critiques me. Literally, never. I would hate to be treated the way I treat him. So I am definitely working on making changes in that area too. If I continue to be aware of my actions, I am confident that things will continue to improve. I plan on talking to my DH at some point about the book, but I am waiting until we are on more solid ground.

These books are so helpful in understanding not just the opposite gender, but yourself as well. My husband and I read these before we got married. I HIGHLY recommend using the method of buying both books, and personalizing them for your partener before reading the other. ( I read For Men Only first, and wrote notes next to things that were/weren't true about me,etc., and he did the same with For Women Only).

My husband was going to leave me after 20 years of marriage. Listening to this book on tape, and him listening to "For men only", turned our marriage completely around. I thought I knew a lot about men, having read a ton of relationship books. But this gave me a deep insight to my husband's needs and how he is hardwired to respond. Now, when I want to discuss an issue and he is quiet, I know that means he is processing the issue step by step and not ignoring me. Wish I had learned this 30 years ago. Could have saved us both a lot of heartache.

Highly recommend for all women, not a long read but still packed with wisdom worth more than gold that I’ll carry with me my entire marriage.
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018Verified Purchase
I started applying and thinking about the things learned the first day of reading and immediately saw a positive difference in both me and my husband. That day. I saw him light up when I reaffirmed the strong provider he is, I didn’t realize the need he had to hear that. I feel I better understand him now. He commented on how proud he was for me starting back working out that day and I could see how it made him SO happy and proud. I tried hard to critique him less, it was hard for me since it’s such an unconscious habit, and I saw how positively it affected his mood and self esteem:) I gave him more physical attention and I could tell even the following day how it impacted him. This book helps me to be a better and more enjoyable wife for my husband, and I want to be the best wife I can be to the man God have me:) So much good stuff in this book! Coming from a solid Christian perspective.

The Womens Go-To-Guide for the scoop on Men...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2015Verified Purchase
Love this book! Always have had a fascination with men and how they function. I have come to know over the years that the needs of men and women are completely the reverse and so different. What we say often gets lost in translation to our original intentions, and how they act sometimes gets lost in translation to what they really mean. Men have respect at the top of their list and women have love at the top of theirs but somehow we must navigate through that to communicate and understand one another.
Insightful, real and soooo relevant. This goes a little deeper than another one of my faves, "love and respect" by Dr Emerson Eggerichs as it is based primarily on extensive research through the surveying of approximately 1000 men from all walks of life.
A book not just for those married or with partners but also those who are wanting to be become a well informed woman (and in some ways make their lives a little easier before that time comes) even whilst single.
Read this book within a few days, a record time for me ;-) No doubt this will also be a book I revisit at least once a year similarly to Love & Respect.

Really enlightening reading into the heart of men. No holds barred look at what men really think. If you care about your man, then this will make you sit up and get your act together. Remember, if you complacent and don’t fight for your relationship there is always another woman waiting in the wings. Wish I had this years ago!
