    <body><![CDATA[My mother bought this book for my then-fiance and I when we announced our engagement, and both of us read it... most of it, anyway.  Two years into our marriage, I will rate the advice as &quot;excellent,&quot; and I've thus given it four stars.  However, like so many &quot;self-help&quot;-type book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59447185">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A self-indulgant book that basically takes one sentence- &quot;In relationships women need to feel loved and men need to feel respected-&quot; and repeats it for 350 pages. The author spends the majority of the book praising his own idea and quoting other satisfied readers. <br/><br/>However, in t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61533236">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The book clearly defines the needs of both men and women: that of men being respect and women love. He used a profound scripture: Ephesians 5:33 to back his argument. It's an eye opener to know that men are wired to respect, while women are wired to love. Women can reach men better through showing t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61514622">more...</a>]]></body>

I give it a four star ratin g though because, it explains a lot of important things about how women need love the most and men desire respect the most.

Even if you don't think you have anything to learn about communication you will at least learn of the struggles people suffer through in their relationships.

The another is completely out of touch with a womans way of thinking and I was pretty much offended through the entire thing.
