Mars and Venus in the Bedroom: A Guide to Lasting Romance and Passion: A Guide to Lasting Romance and Passion.

I've always admired John Gray and believed that men and women truly are from different planets. My husband and I don't communicate well, about much of anything. We hit a crossroads in our marriage and I knew we had to do something or there wouldn't be another anniversary to celebrate. So I bought Mars and Venus in the Bedroom. OMG! Dr. Gray might has written this book for my husband and I! The stories, the suggestions, the ideas.....all hit home. AND it's working. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that needs a little pick-me-up in their marriage, something to get you started. I was ready to give up and get out, but this book made both of us realize that we CAN learn to communicate, we can grow closer and we can enjoy all the intimacy that we once had. Thank you Dr. Gray!

We had lost connection in our marriage. Sex became something that was routine and did not increase our dedication to each other. This book helped me better understand the difference between how men and women express and feel love. It is not a "how to" book on sex. It is a study of a connection that can easily be lost in a marriage. I will definitely read this more than once and will hold on to it in case a space comes between us again in the future.

Well I am learning a lot on what turns men off but how to fix it? This book just kinda makes me feel guilty and like there's no hope in fixing my mistakes.

I was preparing to have sex for the first time and ordered this book to get a better idea of what to expect. After reading it I couldn't help but share it with my soon to be husband! We love how much it helped us understand each other and make each other happy in and out of the bed.

This is a great book. I was surprised how does he know exactly how I feel and think. But what's even more amazing, this book didn't only give me an understanding on my wife's feelings but on my own. I suddenly understood why I feel and think in some direction. Also has very good recommendations. Highly recommended.

My fiance and I read this book and we both thought it had some very interesting points. It helped us understand more about each other, and even a little bit about ourselves. I have read more of Dr. Gray's books, and it was quite fascinating to see the differences in men and women in the bedroom as well as in daily life. And really, it is absolutely fascinating how our bodies truly are perfect for the other.The section on the different types of panties according to mood is quite amusing. Dr. Gray was giving an example of signals, to make it a little easier for men to know what mood a woman is in without having to guess or be told outright. It may not be true for all women of course, and we all have different ways of doing things, but I thought it amusing. Especially since I know many of the clothes I wear depend on my mood.Dr. Gray devotes quite a generous portion of his book on talking about sex with your partner. Even though it's full of repeated and over repeated sayings, and humor that's not really all that funny, I think a lot of it actually may serve a purpose of breaking the ice and spark questions and conversation between partners. The examples on how to compliment the other, and what not to say, are so cheesy you just have to laugh at it all. But it is simple enough to skip the lists. Dr. Gray goes in no little detail about techniques and anatomy, and there is even a section on restoring passion by writing letters (his example is laughable, but it gets the point across). But he goes a little outside the bedroom too, and explains that even something as simple as getting the door for one's wife, or thanking your husband for helping with the dishes can go a long way.Even though this book has some great information, and I'm sure it'll help my fiance and I when we get married, it definitely has to be read with a healthy amount of salt. I would not go so far as some of the other negative reviews have gone. I do not think Dr. Gray intended to portray women as sexually inactive compared to men. In fact, he clearly states that Women's interest in sex often surprises men. "All women are different" is one of his most often used quotes in the book. He does not box men and women into stereotypes, that is simply how we are made. Women are just as strong as men, just in different ways. And men need Love just as much as women do. That is what Dr. Gray is trying to say. I do not see anywhere that "men want sex and women want love". We just have different ways of getting both of those things, and Dr. Gray helps provide some insight on what those differences are, and how a husband and wife can best help each other feel loved and appreciated not only during sex, but in daily life as well.

This is a must-read book for every couple :)

I have read several of the Mars and Venus books and they've all been beneficial. John Gray has done a great deal to improve my marriage.

A lot of what is written makes sense and is interesting but it's all a bit too clinical for my taste. He doesn't make sex sound remotely romantic, and the way he advises men and women to improve their sex life is almost like following instructions on how to assemble a piece of furniture. Deffinate no no.
