Mars and Venus In The Bedroom

Written by Nancy from Lions Head, ON on April 14th, 2006

This was a very insightful book, with lots of realistic advise. It makes a lot of sense. The only thing I would criticize is that it seemed somewhat slanted towards a woman's point of view, but I didn't mind. I even got my husband to listen to it! Definitely worth listening to if you want to improve communication between your self and your spouse.

Targeted towards information for Men

This audiotape is well meaning and does offer insight for women however it is most directed towards the sexual education of men.

Some Cliches, some good advice

This is another in the Mars series -- you get what you'd expect. John makes sense, at least most of the time. In order for this book to be of use, you need to have a fairly "normal" relationship already -- this won't fix those with big problems. He is rather frank and open, which is refreshing. Overall, worth listening to for most people.

Some information that most couples will figure out in the first couple of years. I found the author, a Monk previously had some insight to both the women's and men's point of view but yet it does not offer insight to helping provide real passion with our partner. I was not impressed by this book, but some might find this of some use.

It's definitely a must listen! It is very informative and interesting to see how men and women interpret a specific situation differently. I love it and listen to it a few times.

A great book. I listened twice before sending it back. I think it is a great reminder about what keeps an intimate relationship alive between two committed persons.

I though this was a great selection. It provides information every man and woman should know. It makes a great deal of sense, and it gives you a multitude of things to think about, apply, and practice. And the end result of learning these ideas and techniques...well, it definitely has its rewards.
