For Men Only by Jeff & Shaunti Feldhahn

Wow! This is as great as her other book, For Women Only. 

The things I learned from FWO were life-changing and have stuck with me. 


It was so life-changing I knew I had to get this book (FMO). 
And, yes, I read it myself. I read it because I wanted to be sure that Hubs understood which responses truly reflected ME. 


As I read I highlighted all that had meaning to me and I asked Hubs to read it in that context. It really helped us even though communication is a strong point in our marriage. It's that good! I would recommend both books to people wanting to better understand relationships.


Here are the chapter titles:


1 Rethinking Random (Why You Need a New Map of the Female Universe)


2 The Deal is Never Closed (Why Her "I do" Will Always Mean "Do You?"~ And What To Do About It


3 Windows...Open! (What You Should Know About the Fabulous Female Brain (A Guide for Lower Life Forms))


4 Your Real Job is Closer to Home (How Your Provider/Protector Instinct Can Leave Her Feeling More Unsafe and Less Cared For)


5 Listening IS the Solution (Why Her Feeling About the Problem is the Problem, and How to Fix Your Urge to Fix)


6 With Sex, Her "No" Doesn't Mean You (How Her Desires Are Affected by Her Unique Wiring, And Why Your Ego Shouldn't Be)


7 The Girl in the Mirror ( What the Little Girl Inside Your Woman is Dying to Hear From You~ And How to Guard Your Answer Well)


8 The Man She Had Hoped to Marry (What the Woman Who Loves You Most, Most Wants You to Know

I LOVED the way the Feldhahns explained the differences in the ways men and women think. I tend to be very analytical, which tends to be a trait of men more than women. Even so...I am much better at multi-tasking (Hubs just can't do it) and sometimes feel that I have to multi-task in order to get anything done. 


My husband read this book while our kids and I were traveling for four weeks without him on an international vacation. When we returned home to him we discussed the book and his reading of it. He was amazed at the fact that my responses to many of the questions was outside the norm. I was SO glad I had highlighted MY responses. Even though we know each other extremely well I think his reading of the book without highlights could have muddied things for us. Since I indicated my responses for every topic he was left with NO question as to how I felt about each item. And he felt very fortunate with regard to some of my responses. He knows that I love our sex-life but now he knows that I tend to enjoy sex more than most women seem to. He appreciates that I am different in that regard.

The depth of this book is unbelievable. Even if marriage/intimacy books are not really your thing you may still gain tremendous insights from this book.
