Summary: A useful book, a self-promoting author.
Comment: Some time ago my wife and I were had a big fight. It left each one of us feeling as the offended party, and waiting for the other to apologize: I thought she kept complaining about everything I did, she felt I did not care about her. Really angry, I bought the book, and after reading a few pages I was able to understand her point of view. As soon as I tried to explain how she felt (not why), we got out of the cycle.
The book has very helpful insights. The author mentions that differences get stronger when people are in a close relationship, and almost disappear when people have been single for a while. I agree: I'd recommend the book to newlyweds after they start disagreeing about trivial stuff, but not during their honeymoon.
Why, then, four stars only? Because the first few chapters are much more useful than the last ones; I don't agree completely with the book; the Mars-Venus analogy gets tiresome: I'd rather read: "Men do this, Women do that" instead of "Martians do this, Venusians do that"; and finally, the author incesantly promotes his other books and products throughout the book.
In spite of those issues that made it a little less enjoyable, the book has really helped me improve my marriage, and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Guide for understanding Opposite sex Better..........
Comment: -
I knew Men & Women are different But only physically but I came to know that men are from mars & women are from venus only after reading this book.
Men feel he is doing right thing with his born Mr.Fix It Attitude But most of the times women only want him to listen.
Men go to his Cave when he is trying to find out solution to his problem But women dont understand this.They do what they do on Venus.They try to talk & men think she is annoying him.He pushes her out of his Cave & she thinks it was very Rude of him(It is Rude On Venus).
This was Just an Example.Book is full of Such Things.It gives complete Ideaof How Martian & Venusians Think Differently.They are made for Each Other But they should know what other want or Expect from them.
Some people laughed at me (Even Girls) that I am reading this kind of Book.My answer is Whether its men Or Women,This book is 'Must' for Everyone if they want their relationship work better,to communicate well because Men are from Mars women are from Venus.
This Book is like a Translator for Martian & Venusians.

Summary: Don't read this book!
Comment: I find this book highly offensive because it promotes current gender stereotypes, without proposing changes, besides accomadation, to behaviors that perhaps shouldn't be in relationships in the first place. This book seems to be telling women that they need to make all of the accomadations in the relationship, while men are encouraged to be accomadating if they feel like it! Overall, I find that men are portrayed as relational neanderthals while women are unreasonably relationally needy. There may be some people like this, but most people I've met aren't that extreme. There are parts of the book that have a ring of truth, though, such as the needs of men and women. But I prefer a reliable book that will teach me how to be better and how to have a happier, stronger relationship. I HIGHLY recommend John Gottman's, "Seven Principles that Make Marriage Work." I have been very impressed with his book, and he is the foremost scholar in the marriage interaction field in the world.
