 Rating:  - Great his and hers marriage bookMost helpful in understanding one another as well as actual methods to improve communication. We have now started giving this one away as a wedding gift or first anniversary gift. Also the book, His Needs Her Needs. Rating:  - Good thoughts, but needs a bit of maturingI am still reading this book, and want to post a few thoughts. The basic thoughts about the differences between the way men and women think and respond are good, but Dr. Clarke's presentation seems to need some maturing and developing. There are humorous ways of presenting his basic ideas (men DO have clam-like ways to respond to a woman's probing, women tend to keep on prying when the man has clammed-up), but they come across as being too flippant.

I found Dr. Clarke to, at times, be extremely patronizing to his reading audience. Not every woman is a crowbar. Sometimes, unfortunately, there are 2 clams in a relationships which really leads to relationship problems. If you really want a good book on relationships, read some of the books by Florence Littauer and her husband. When my husband and I read their book, we found unique ... Read More
