Synopsis

She reads people, and he reads manualsHe doesn’t ask for directions, and she doesn’t appreciate his adviceShe is so mysterious, and he is so practicalHe does not seem to listen, and she seems so emotionalThe list goes on and on ...In a world where men and women are constantly told they are not different, His Brain, Her Brain shows couples what they instinctively know―men and women are different, and these divinely designed differences, when understood, make a marriage stronger and happier. Combining the latest brain research along with their experiences in over three decades of marriage and counseling, Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore explain how the unique design of each sex, particularly the unique brain and hormones of each, results in different habits, tendencies, and nuances of thought and action.

Our friends Walt and Barb Larimore identify the physiological and chemical differences in men and women that explain so much about why men act the way they act and why women are the way they are. Norma and I immediately saw ourselves and our God-created differences in a new light. I wish we had read it 30 years ago!' -- Wayne Petersen

'We felt like the Larimores were in our living room listening to us when we read 'His Brain, Her Brain.' What an awesome book! No other book targets divine design in men and women like this book.

If you've ever wondered why you and your spouse keep having the same issues over and over, Walt and Barb not only help you appreciate your differences but also help your marriage thrive because of them. Is another book on marriage necessary? This one is. In fact, if you are going to buy only one book about marriage, this should be the one!' -- Ken C. Shih, Author

'In 'His Brain, Her Brain,' Walt and Barb Larimore will guide you into a much greater appreciation of the wonderful ways in which God has designed a husband and a wife to beautifully compliment one another. I believe this excellent book will be used by the Lord to move many married men and women to a greater enjoyment of their oneness in Christ!' -- Rodney Wood, President

'We are different by God's design. The bad news is that the differences we don't understand often lead to division. The good news is that those same differences, in God's hands, can lead from dissonance and division to a rich and rewarding harmony. Walt and Barb have given us the gift of a handbook of help and hope that will both encourage us and provide us with simple and practical ways to enjoy a deeper, more meaningful, more intimate love relationship. This is a book you'll want to share with your friends.' -- Gary J. Oliver, Executive Director
