Key ideas of Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus
Men and Women Are Wired Differently
Men and women have distinct emotional needs and communication styles, and assuming otherwise is the root cause of most relationship conflict.
Speaking Different Emotional Languages
Women seek understanding and companionship through talk, while men withdraw to solve problems alone, and neither pattern signals a lack of love.
Setting Limits to Give and Receive Love
Men are motivated by feeling needed, while women thrive when they feel valued, and both must learn to set healthy limits to sustain that balance.
Read an excerpt from the summary
At first, everything was wonderful and beautiful. But the effects of Earth's atmosphere took hold and one morning they all woke up with amnesia. Both Martians and Venusians forgot what planets they were really from. And from that day on, men and women have been in conflict.
We expect the opposite sex to be no more like us. We expect them to want what we want and feel what we feel. We mistakenly assume that if our partners love us, they will react and behave in a certain way - the way we react and behave when we love someone. We forget that women and men are supposed to be different. It is clear that recognising and respecting this dramatically reduces confusion when faced with the opposite sex.
HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Men feel motivated and empowered when they feel they are needed. In contrast, women are motivated and motivated when they feel valued. Men have a win/lose philosophy. When they are in love, they want the woman to win as much as they do. The Martians were very motivated by seeing an opportunity to bring change to Venus. They had arrived at a new level of evolution. They were no longer content to prove themselves and develop their power. They wanted to use their strength and abilities in the service of others, specifically women. They began to develop a new philosophy; a win-win philosophy. They wanted a world in which everyone was as focused on themselves as they were on others. Similarly, when a man is in love, he is motivated to be the best he can be in service to others. When his heart is opened, he becomes confident in his ability to create great change. When he has the opportunity to prove his ability, he expresses his best self.
