Once upon a time, Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and led happy relationships because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth, and amnesia set in: they forgot that they came from different planets. With this metaphor, Dr. John Gray illustrates the common conflicts between men and women and explains how these differences can stand in the way of fulfilling romantic relationships. Based on years of successful counseling with couples and individuals, "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now regarded as a modern classic, this phenomenal book has helped men and women recognize how different they truly are and how they can communicate their needs in a way that avoids conflicts and allows intimacy to grow.
