I picked-up this book over two decades ago, yet this daily reader remains bedside. It's a positive daily nudge, boost, and reminder to build and strengthen partnership-skills and offers ideas for ways to better understand and be with a spouse of the opposite gender. We gifted this book to our (29 year old) son and daughter-in-law with a strong recommendation to give it a go. I figured it would likely be especially useful during a Pandemic. I think they'll like it and YOU will, too.
Este libro me gustó más a comparación del 1er libro, a pesar que si llega a ser repetitivo, la lectura no se hace pesada porque está dividido en 365 consejos. Ya cada uno es libre de tomar lo que funcione en su pareja.
I can't truly rate this book because I did not finish it but GR requires a rating to write a review. This book requires both partners to read it, more specifically, together, then, discuss, debate and hopefully enjoy the journey of experimenting with Dr. Gray's advice.
Well, the writer made me understand a lot about my nature as a female, which would lead me to dealing with my feminine needs. It also gave me an understanding of the nature of men and made me comprehend "theoretically" their behavioural reactions and how to deal with it.
However, a lot of repetition wasn't enjoyable in my point of view. But to be honest the book is meant to give daily advice and inspirations to keep passion alive.
"Men are like rubber bands. Most women are surprised to realise that even when a man loves a woman, periodically he needs to pull away before he can get closer! Men , instinctively feel this urge to pull away. It is not a decision or choice. It just happens. It is neither his fault nor her fault. It is a natural cycle.
I find a lot of wholesome wisdom in this little book . Is john gray a catholic ?
