1) Paperback Book Mars and Venus on a Date: A Guide for Navigating the 5 Stages of Dating to Create a Loving and Lasting Relationship by Harper Paperbacks. This book changed the way I relate to men. The techniques really work and I wish I would´ve read this book 20 years ago. I realized I can be feminine and receive love. I can allow a man to help me and not do everything myself. Since reading the book I´ve really enjoyed my new dating life and love being more feminine and having the ability to attract men. It´s a lot more fun. I look forward to reading and learning more from this author.¤

2) Paperback Book Mars and Venus on a Date: A Guide for Navigating the 5 Stages of Dating to Create a Loving and Lasting Relationship by Harper Paperbacks. John Gray´s book emphasizes open communication in his book between men and women This is clearly important.

But, the open communication isn´t so open at times. Gray doesn´t encourage being candid at times. This is a slippery slope. For example, Gray says that if a man is late because of an accident on a bridge, he should apologize without explaining the reason for being late, and the woman should be nonjudgmental. Is this communication relationship enhancing?

Also, he frequently over emphasizes the differerences in men and women without acknowledging their similarities enough. For example, Gray´s simplistic view of men as the wrongdoers in relationships and women as the saviors weakens the material. He explains in detail how men should learn to apologize and women should learn to forgive, but not vice versa. We all make mistakes in relationships and both parties need to learn the importance of sincere apology and forgiveness.

Good communication is clearly important in any relationship and I applaud John Gray´s attempt to get couples to communicate, but emphasizing non candid behaviors dilutes the main message of the book.

Also, stereotyping the sexes can lead to polarization and a breakdown in communication. Understanding gender differences is important, but equally important is the acceptance and celebration of our similarities.

I hated the book, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus........... However, this book really seemed right on. Great insight for women on how men think, how men date, when and when not to call and the especially important, "Stage Two: Uncertainty period". Explains why men wait to get involved, etc. If you are baffled about men like I was, this book is worth it´s weight in gold.¤

Going beyond the old rules, John Gray doesn´t just tell you how to behave, he explains why. With compassion and understanding he takes you through the five stages of dating--attraction, uncertainty, exclusivity, intimacy, and engagement; provides inspired ideas on finding your soul mate; and offers advice on creating a loving and mutually fulfilling relationship. If you´re trying to find a date, debating whether to continue a relationship, or searching for commitment, Mars and Venus on a Date is your essential guide to successfully getting what you want.

7) Paperback Book Mars and Venus on a Date: A Guide for Navigating the 5 Stages of Dating to Create a Loving and Lasting Relationship by Harper Paperbacks. The latest tentacle of John Gray´s formidable Mars and Venus octopus deals with a topic near to the heart of almost everybody--dating. With a lot of insight and common sense, Gray tackles the hard and often messy business of finding "a soul mate." Without fear or favor, Mars and Venus on a Date dissects the dynamics between men and women and the five stages each relationship must pass through: attraction, uncertainty, exclusivity, intimacy, and, finally, engagement (for marriage, of course). Even though Mars and Venus on a Date isn´t The Rules by a long shot, the courtship it describes is surprisingly old-fashioned. It´s chock-full of things your mother might say: "Most people find or are found by their soul mates when they are not really looking." "The man should never talk more than the woman." But how to know if the person you´re with is your "soul mate?" Gray writes, "When our soul wants to marry our partner, it feels like a promise that we came into this world to keep." Which translates into, "When you know, you know."¤
