"Nobody understands women." Most men would agree. The accepted myth is that women are "mysterious" and "incomprehensible." But author Ken Nair, founder and president of Life Partners, attacks that myth, saying, "We as men label women as mysterious and incomprehensible because it takes the responsibility off us to become truly Christlike in our attitudes and behavior toward our wives." Discovering the Mind of a Woman is about husbands learning to understand their wives as Christ would and then learning to respond to their wives in a consistently Christlike manner. The result? Radically transformed and renewed marriage relationships. One husband who applied Ken Nair's concepts exclaimed, "Because of God's grace, I have seen my marriage turn from a disaster and near divorce into a warm, loving relationship. I am enjoying a marriage relationship that I never even dreamed possible." Drawing from his own story and the stories of many husbands whose marriages were dissolving, Ken Nair reveals: Four male prejudices about women that alienate husbands and wives; Six qualities that endear men to their wives; Five symptoms of an uncared-for wife; Six indicators of unsolved communication problems in a marriage; Three major biblical concepts absolutely vital to a successful marriage. Not only will a consistently Christlike manner revive your marriage, it will radiate out into the rest of your life to improve your relationships with your children, your coworkers, your friends -- everyone. If joy and peace are missing in your marriage, solve the mystery and discover the mind of a woman. - Back cover.

Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians functioned in separate worlds. But in today's hectic and career-oriented environment, relationships have become a lot more complicated, and men and women are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. To add to the increasing tension, most men and women are also completely unaware that they are actually hardwired to react differently to the stress. It's a common scenario: a husband returns home from work stressed out and eager to kick back on the couch and watch television. A wife returns home from work stressed out and wants to talk about it with her husband. What happens? Neither is on the same page, anger and resentment set in, and Mars and Venus collide.Using his signature insight that has helped millions of couples transform their relationships, John Gray once again arms the inhabitants of Mars and Venus with information that will help them live harmoniously ever after. In Why Mars and Venus Collide, Gray focuses on the ways that men and women misinterpret and mismanage the stress in their daily lives, and how these reactions ultimately affect their relationships. "It's not that he's just not into you; he needs to fulfill a biological need," Gray explains. "And it's not that she wants to henpeck you; she also has a biological drive." He shows, for instance, how a husband's withdrawal is actually a natural way for him to replenish his depleted testosterone levels and restore his well-being, and how a woman's need for conversation and support helps her build her own stress-reducing hormone, oxytocin.Backed up by groundbreaking scientific research, Gray offers a clear, easy-to-understand program to bridge the gap between the two planets, providing effective communication strategies that will actually lower stress levels. Whether in a relationship or single, this book will help both men and women understand their new roles in a modern, work-oriented society, and allow them to discover a variety of new and practical ways to create a lifetime of love and harmony.
