Customer Reviews

Excellent Read for All Stages of Marriage

Fantastic read. I have been married for over 23 years and I have found things that helped me understand my spouse and be a better husband. Everyone who is married or about to be married should read this book to build up defenses to protect your marriage.

His Needs, Her Needs

A must have for all men. Yes I am a big hairy winning machine lol I swear to you as sure as god made little green apples this should be a prerequisite for any man intending to have ANY relations with a female, and especially a girlfriend fiancé and eventually wife. I say this after 12 years of marriage It is a must read and must understand from my point of view. If you care about your woman and or other women in your life I would suggest you make it mandatory reading material. I have promised myself to reread it every two years. Men are not built with sensitivity this helps a man identify the things he's missing by design

Something for Someone Else

I ordered these books for a couple whose therapist had told them to read the book. I have not been informed about their opinion.
