John Gray, Ph.d. is a certified family therapist and best selling author. He is probably best known for his multi-million selling book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus." I never read his other books but my guess is that they are all probably a rehash of what we all probably knew in the first place. Gray subtitles this book "Enhancing the Passion with Great Communication." I will be succinct and reiterate the 2 main take away skills you probably already knew but may need to review:
1. Make a point of making time to talk & listen.
2. Make a point of not talking to the other at a time that is not suitable.
Wow, enlightenment and not entitlement meant to keep the home fires burning. Here's my take, don't bother reading the book. Just don't bother your spouse when they're not available to devote their utmost attention. Here's my advice: Ladies, let your girlfriends be your sounding boards & stop prattling in your partner's ear. Gentlemen, give your ladies your attention and allow us to know how much retention time we have. (Ladies, a lot less than we would like - so learn to be succinct.)
