Negative Positive
Title: Helped me understand myself.
Review: As a counselor none of the categories that Shaunti uses surprised me but she did put different words to it that were helpful. As men we do have significantly different struggles than women and she points that out well. I felt honored in this book as a man who is viewed as having a good heart and who seeks to love his wife. I think this view (which has an intentional focus and not a covering the whole spectrum focus) can lead some to feel that she isn't standing for what a woman desires in a relationship. I think she'll get to that in future books. With regards to some of the negative reviews I believe they miss out. Communication only goes so far unless one understands or is curious about some basic differences in the genders. Even with understanding it can be difficult to share accurately what truly lies at the depths of our hearts.I recommend this book to men and women and look forward to Shaunti's book on For men only about women.
Is the review positive or negative?
