Probably the best book on marital relationships I have ever read, and it really helps. This book was recommended to me by a woman who almost left her husband, but changed it by reading Gary Smalley's books. I love his biblical approach to changing your relationship for the better with your husband. I highly recommend it!
This Writer really has done his homework on woman. when these principles are applied you will get results. Even the most hard headed prideful man will melt.

Gives some thoughts on how to understand and relate with one's spouse.
It really teaches about the difference between the way women percieve what men do and what men are actually doing. It clarifies a lot, expecially if you have no idea what is going on in your husband's mind or if he just drives you crazy (in good and bad ways). It really showed me where he was coming from.
Has some hokey old "Leave-it-to-Beaver" stuff, but I liked finding out that "Men are buffaloes; women are butterflies." I felt like the book kinda said men were jerks, though. Luckily, I don't find that that's the case with my fiance, David.
If you have problems understanding men, THIS is the book to read. This book brought my fiance and I so much closer together. It helped me to understand his needs and how I could help him in his wants.
how to be more patient with my fiance. to understand his needs and to have him fulfill mine without arguement. i've also learned many things that i do that are upsetting to him.
GOOD!!! Very good. I recommended to all of you if you want to simplify your heart. (for woman).
One of the very good resources my wife and I use when we counsel with couples regarding their marriage.

Reading this for a Bible study/book group. Just started. I like Gary Smalley, though.
Very Accurately written, our pastor had us read this book before we were married.
