They're so deep inside he barely knows they're there, much less how to talk to you about them. Yet he genuinely wants you to "get" him -- to understand his inner life, his fears, his needs... In her landmark best-seller, For Women Only, Shaunti Feldhahn reveals what every woman -- single or married -- needs to know.

I was invited to read this book by a friend, and like so many survey-driven books, am left questioning the survey more than myself.While this book does reveal some inner workings of men that many women might not have perceived, it also, in my opinion, portrays men as shallow creatures with little

self control, especially when it comes to sex and physical appearance.This is a spiritual (Christian) based book, so the survey and interpretation of the results are taken through that lens. It's not bad, but like anything, it colors the content in a certain way. The authors admittedly make gross generalizations on their findings, which adds another layer the reader has to work through to apply the information to their own situation.So read with caution, and do your own research, preferably with your significant other.

this book is one of the clearest and most concise books of this type available. it is an easy read while still putting forth important points that all women should know to treat men in a way that *they* feel respected and loved. some of these points can be fairly surprising.

the only negative I have

about this book is a disapointment at reading it after having listened to the audio version. there is nothing aditional in the book version. but, if you prefer listening to an audio format, this is a plus!

At first this book didn't seem to offer anything really remarkably new - but then I read on... She tells it like it is - and it's refreshing. I was challenged by the results of the polls and I believe I am understanding my husband's mind a bit better especially in the field of what's romantic to

him, how insecure he is at being romantic and the necessity of respect in order to feel loved. Very good for married women.

EXCELLENT. My husband and I are VERY similar and communicate wonderfully but this opened my mind to a couple things which I will always see differently from now on. VERY INSIGHTFUL!

LibraryThing member zellerk

This is a great book to read to understand what men are really thinking. Men are very honest in this book which helps to understand them.

LibraryThing member sweet_catastrophe

This book is absolutely amazing - it provides such wonderful, clear advice about incorporating gender roles in a way that makes relationships work. The survey format is really interesting as well, and backs up Shaunti's arguments beautifully. Every woman should read this book!

LibraryThing member lindseyrivers

It's hard for me to not bristle at this book, being a feminist. I don't necessarily consider myself Christian so I didn't buy into all of this books reasonings. But, you can't deny the statistics and a couple of these chapters did at least sort of speak to me. Not a bad idea to read but know that

it won't all apply.

Very helpful and not at all bashing towards men! :) I read this when I was in a relationship and found it very helpful. I recommend it to any woman who is engaged or married and wants a closer relationship with their guy :D.

LibraryThing member T_Renee

Great book. Suggested must read for all women interested in a healthy, sustainable relationship with the opposite sex. Very insightful and eye opening.

LibraryThing member zubenelgenubi

A must read for anyone getting married. A lucid, thorough exploration of the male gender. And to make things even better, it's fun to read too!

LibraryThing member cougargirl1967

Hopefully my husband gets better understanding from me.

I really and truly enjoyed this book. Most people who know me will be surprised to hear this, as I'm usually a fiction only type of reader. This book, even though non-fiction, kept me riveted. I couldn't wait to read more. It was inspiring, thought provoking, and well researched. And for a book of

non-fiction, that's not even a true life story type book, to bring tears to my eyes in it's final chapter speaks volumes about the emotion the author put into this reading. I am hoping to come out of this with not only a better understanding of my husband, but a better relationship with him (if such a thing is possible since I consider my relationship very strong to begin with) I would definitely recommend this book to anyone currently in a relationship, or with any intention of ever being in a relationship with a man.
