About this title

Synopsis

The Phenomenal #1 New York Times Bestseller

In his classic guide to understanding the opposite sex, Dr. John Gray, provides a practical and proven way for men and women to improve their communication and relationships by acknowledging the fundamental gender differences between them.

Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets.

Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now viewed as a modern classic, this timeless book has helped men and women realize how different they can be in their communication styles, their emotional needs, and their modes of behavior, and offers the secrets of communicating without conflicts, allowing couples to give intimacy every chance to grow. 

In this essential guide to understanding your partner, you’ll discover:

• Conflict-Free Communication: Learn why men offer solutions when women just want to feel heard, and how to finally express your needs without starting an argument.
• Different Coping Mechanisms: Understand why men retreat to their “caves” under stress and how giving him space can make him spring back with more love and attention.
• Core Emotional Needs: Discover the six primary love needs of women (like caring and understanding) versus men (like trust and acceptance)―and why giving what you want to receive often fails.
• How to Score Points: See why for a woman, a single rose can mean as much as a vacation, and learn the little things that make a huge difference in keeping the love tank full.
