This ... may not have aged well. While I'm certain some people might find this information useful. This book is out of date for more modern marriages.
I read this book as a young naive 20 year old.
And It spoke to me, I recommended it to all my girlfriends as the holy grail.
As the you need to read this to understand your boyfriend book.
As a naive 20 year old I often made excuses for my significant other, and I think this book aided in that, as I would often excuse their bad behavior as just being the way they were wired... being from another planet and all.
Over the years looking back I have become overly critical about this book, and I wonder if along the road littered with bad relationships, I have skewed my memory of this book to fit my own narrative.
So I think this book will be a re read for me, not as a young woman trying to find love.
But as I am now.

a very interesting comparison of the male and female gender and how they process stuff differently.
i will definitely revisit this book more often!

Tror alle har godt av å lese denne boka. Min anmeldelse blir tre ting jeg har lært:
1. Menn ønsker å løse problemene sine på egen hånd. Kvinner føler seg bedre ved å snakke om problemene sine.
2. Når en mann er sur. La han være. Han trenger tid alene og vil komme ut når han er klar for det.
3. Menn blir motivert av at noen trenger de. Kvinner blir motivert av å føle seg verdsatt ❤️

Maybe one or two tips were applicable to my particular relationship. Though it was difficult to get through. The vast majority of the book is filled with tips that are rooted in toxic gender norms, sexist beliefs and patriarchal ideology. This book makes women sound over emotional, needy and a nuisance that men just have to nod and “listen” to. Where it tells women to cater to how men behave. How much of this is genetic/gender based and how much is learned behavior? And if learned behavior, is it actually healthy behavior that we should enable? If you live in the 21st century, you shouldn’t read this dated book.
My husband and I both purchased and read this book before we met. I believe it gave us insight into our differences and communication tools that helped us work through challenges. It was clear, concise and insightful. We’ve been married for 18 years. I’m not saying this book is the only reason, but it certainly helped us work through challenges. We still talk about needing cave time and how I don’t need my problems fixed, just the opportunity to vent. Communication is the single most important skill to maintaining any relationship. I’m thankful for this book and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to develop a deeper relationship with his/her spouse.
