I was very disappointed with this book. I was hoping for enlightenment and all I received was respect your husband and God.

I won this book from Goodreads Giveaways and I must say that was the best part of this book. The general idea in this book it that women should always respect, encouraging, support, never nag, and be courteous to their husbands, which I agree with to an extent, but not for the reasons the book gives. This book uses men’s egos and pride as the reasons to do these More...

My first Goodreads Giveaway win! I opened it up last night and read through it pretty fast. I do like the format: 2 little books, one for each partner to read that explains how the other one really thinks/feels. The books are pocket-sized and the whole idea is pretty cute. The info. is based on surveys, so it's not just some person telling you what THEY think the different sexes experience.

BUT it has a heavy Christian bias. Not being a Christian myself, I found this a tad annoying, More...

Perfect for : Personal Use, For couples, for newly-weds, for engaged couples, for church bible-study class, engagement gift, wedding gift

In a nutshell: For Couples Only is actually a set of books: For Women Only and For Men Only, which have been designed to help you understand your partner better. The books were written and based on input that was gathered by the authors from over 1000 surveys (each). We tend to make assumptions, and sometimes what we believe is actually far from reality. These More...

In October of 2009 my husband and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. So, how much can we learn from a set of books called "For Couples Only"? Quite a bit, actually. Or, maybe, I should say, it was not so much learning something new, as it was being reminded of things we knew or should have remembered. We read the two books separately and then talked a bit about them. But, I know the first day I started reading, I was reminded of how easily a wife could hurt a husband's More...

I just received this book from Goodreads, and started flipping through them immediately.

While i feel that they could be helpful to some, I was put off my the many references to God, and respecting Him as well as your partner. It doesn't say that these are "Christian Living" book anywhere on Goodreads, but that is what they are.

These books were an eye opener to me. I learned how to relate to the opposite sex according on their own terms. What's important to a woman is not so important to a man, and vice versa. Mutual respect between the two sexes can make for a very fulfilling relationship.

I won this book box set in a giveaway from Goodreads a couple of years ago. I didn't start reading it till a couple of weeks ago mainly because my marriage is in trouble.....boy do I wish that I had read it earlier....say when I received it in the mail. Maybe if I had my marriage wouldn't be so messed up like it is now. I've learned so much from this book it has really helped me understand what goes on in my husband's head. I like the fact that it has some Christian views in it but if you're not More...
