Too gender-presumptive, too polarizing - not enough attention paid to the individuality of the human heart.

[Simin Yadegar · Rating 4 out of 5]

خواندن این کتاب را به زوج های جوان توصیه می کنم فرصت های زیادی به خاطر نشناختن تفاوت های زن و مرد از دست میرود و شاید این یکی از دلایل افزایش نرخ طلاق در جامعه باشد

A great book. I recommend it for every couple. There are so many communication tips in this book that each couple should know. The author did a very good job explaining all those small details that need to be considered for a successful relationship. Please read it before it is too late. We think we know about about our partners, but when you read this book, you will realize that there are so many things that we ignore about our most precious person we have in our life. Happy relationship. :-)

While women in the workforce is nothing new now, in the 90s it was. Though silly at times ("embracing the female side" etc.), the author's points still hold. Men and women ARE different, and there's nothing wrong with that! We communicate differently and understanding that AND accepting it is key. I thought about my ex a lot while I read this, actually, and while we can't repeat the past, we can be mindful for the future.

كتاب المريخ و الزهرة على اتصال

كتاب سطحي و لا اسميه كتاب بل يصلح ليكون مجرد مقال سخيف في مجلة بدلاً عن اضاعة وقت القاريء بالكلام المكرر و الحشو
الكتاب او الكتيب مجرد آراء اكثر من كونها معلومات، و من الواضح ان الكاتب قام بتعميم شخصية زوجته الغير ناضجة على جميع النساء

احد نصائح الكتاب المكررة اكثر من ١٠٠ مرة: ساعدي الرجل و ادعميه ليستمع لحديثك و اشكريه على استماعه لأن من الصعب على الرجال الاستماع للنساء!
اختلف معه تماما و الحياة اكبر دليل فالرجال ليسو كائنات عجيبة من كوكب آخر بل يحبون الاستماع و مشاركة الاحاديث مع زوجاتهم لكن يبدو ان احاديث زوجة الكاتب مملة و سلبية جداً حسب القصص اللتي يرويها عنها

كرر الكاتب بشكل كبير ان المرأة عاطفية جدا و لا تعرف ماتريد ولا تعرف حتى لماذا تشتكي و ممن تشتكي! كلام فارغ و لا يمثل الا زوجة الكاتب، و قد لا يمثلها حتى هي اصلا
اذا كانت زوجته تتصرف بحماقة معه فعليه ان يتناقش معها بدل تأليف كتاب و نصح الرجال بتحمل ثرثرة النساء . المرأة البالغة انسانة عاقلة و ليست كائن تافه لايهمه الا الثرثرة الفارغة كما يصورها الكاتب الأبله جون غراي

This is a very short book, but one that needs to be reread at times. It has a lot of very valuable information about the differences between how men and women communicate and how to bring the best out of your mate with understanding. As someone who has been married 17.5 years to my husband, I even learned a few new skills to apply from this book. It has been helpful-reaping good results! Despite how short it is, it is one of the best books I have read on marriage communication. I recommend it!

I read the Arabic version of the book.
It is very useful and contains important information to both husband and wife.
I believe if the concepts of the book are applied, many problems will be solved and the relation will be better.

[Natalie Kinney · Rating 3 out of 5]

There were many great points in this book dealing with relationship problems. I did take some pointers from this reading to use in my own life and listen to my partner.

[Missy Tracy]

Very different way of thinking

[Wendy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I guess I’m not in touch enough with my feelings to get much out of this book. It had some good practical advice for husbands and wives.

[Jake Torcasio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really good stuff seems basic but i guess not if so many people get fucking divorced
ima add my thoughts and summary later

[Katy Lovejoy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably should wait to read thus till I'm married

[Mary Woody · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this book. John Gray is still talking about Venis, man caves and communication, a must read for everyone.

[Leslie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good points made throughout. Both partners should read this to help connect or reconnect.
