I know many here have given this book excellent reviews, but I found it to be like it was making excuses for the behavior of men, that they just can't control it. I just don't but that.

When the men in your life are worried, do they hunker down like bears in a cave? Do they act like they don't want to talk to you at all, while you keep wondering why they are mad at you?
If this sounds familiar, read this book. Dr. Gray does an excellent job of explaining how men and women respond to life's challenges and problems and why their responses are so different. This book enabled me not to get upset when my husband disappeared behind his computer for long periods, especially when I knew he was under pressure at work. It was a revelation, to say the least.
It is written in deceptively simple language. Don't judge it harshly for that. It has some very basic truths to offer you.

Are you and your mate having troubles understanding one another? Do you feel like you've made something perfectly clear, but your mate isn't comprehending what you're saying?
This wonderful book may help you better communicate with each other. Men and women are raised differently, despite the best efforts of others to raise them equally. As children, boys create a different social community and a way of communication from girls. This gap tends to become larger the older we get. Gray provides translations of "Venusian"(woman) to "Martian"(man) and "Martian" to "Venusian". Some of the most common phrasing for both sexes is found here and will take the guessing game out of these ambigious statements for both sides.
Men and women think differently. It's something one must learn. While some people may think that this book provides "excuses" for behaviors, I simply found that it explained them. Once one understands them, one is better prepared to handle them.
Also note that in the introduction, Gray does not suggest that all females will be one way and all males will be another way. He suggests that there are two major ways of behavior and the book helps explain them.
I recommend this for all couples alongside "The Five Languages of Love" by Gary Chapman and "The Color Code" by Taylor Hartman.
