Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Firstly I am going to put a disclaimer on this book because, I want you to know I did a little more research about the author and I do not like this book and think the author is absolute, 100%, and with out a shadow of doubt ridiculous. This was a good amount of time well wasted on reading this darn book.
1. His “doctorate” is from an un-accredited school. This is why over the years a number of his books have been published without the “Dr.” – apparently some of his publishers respected the title too much to let him fake it.

2.He’s never done any actual ‘research’ in the field unless you call talking about relationships with people “research”, as “Dr.” Gray apparently does.
3. He simply describes traditional sexual stereotypes in great depth, and then sells this outdated sexist bias as though it was psychology. It sells well because everyone can relate to at least part of it. We all have some things in common with our gender stereotype, so we think he must be on to something. What he is on to is a great marketing technique, not any kind of meaningful insight.
4. To read someone who has done real research in this field and is highly respected for his unbiased work, and you want to try some secular stuff for your class Dwight, try reading Dr. John Gottman. I have read and heard of him and his wife and they do a much better job then this joke book. This man may not be a Christian but at least has studied the field for your students.
1. One thing I read and wonder if it really is true was the fact that women don’t measure what guys may do like big medium and small but yet everything means something and tallies I guess you could say all the same up.
2. Another idea or point that Gary makes in his book is that women don’t always understand that man sometimes needs space. I thought about this and agreed on this point because so many times I need my down time or alone time to think clear things up and think biblical on a situation and not be so fast to action and cause myself to sin.
3. My rebuke is that this is a man made program book. He makes up ideas, thinking and just where he has no conclusion for all of man kind with one program or one of his great ideas.
List how “you” plan to “specifically” respond to or incorporate into your present ministry each of the items you listed above:
1. I guess I need to remember that it is not in what or how I do something as much as I do that action with love and just as long as I do something for her to feel wanted.
2. I need to always think slower and not be fast to reaction and need time to think clearly and do things right and explain to my wife that I need time alone and away form the world so that I can think biblical and not in pressure situation.
3. I mean he has ideas and program like I had stated but in reality I think of God one program that is to fit us in marriage he gave us the church and himself and to use it and to see it and live life after that program which can fulfill all the needs of every marriage.
