I have read this book many many times and every time it teaches me something new on improving my communication with someone. The first time I read this, I was just beginning my first affair. I thought I was in love, and it pained me a lot to see that nothing was working out well enough. I heard about this book in a cafe, and thought - What the heck ! How can a book tell me what can I improve in my personal relationship. I came across it in a old books sale and thought of giving it a cursory read. I started reading it at the counter, and after just 2 pages, I decided to buy it. This is the book which will tell you that you have been doing it wrong. It will kick you where it hurts, but you will be thankful nevertheless as it will make your life with the ones you love so much easier and fun to live. It is amazing how small things can be so easily misconstrued. It is not as if the other person does not want to understand you, its just that they cant! You two have been using different languages all along, and the fact is that you will. So do not try to change them, try to understand what they really want. Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus, and this book will bring them much closer.
