Description
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is a self-help and personal development book by John Gray. First published in 1992, the book is designed to help couples improve their relationships by accepting how different men and women are. Although the book was initially met with critical acclaim, it has lost popularity due to its sexist content, gender boundaries, and worldview. Although this is Gray’s best-known work, the American author has published many similar books concerned with relationship advice. He is a qualified relationship therapist who is a member of both the American Counseling Association and the International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors.
It should be noted that Gray does not consider a spectrum of genders or sexualities and bases his conclusions on heterosexual relationships between born males and born females.
The book’s main premise is that many relationship problems can be avoided by recognizing there are fundamental differences between men and women. Failing to accept these differences causes friction, miscommunication, and separation. Essentially, men and women respond to conflict, stress, and setbacks very differently, and they express and receive love in ways which can be difficult to understand. We can’t succeed in our relationships without appreciating this.
