I picked this up at a yard sale because I remember a friend mentioning how remarkable it was. She sang it's praises and would often tell me how it was improving her marriage. I figured I was only spending a dollar so it wouldn't be all that bad.
Boy, do I regret wasting my time and money on this book.
A lot of his helpful recommendations were based on common sense. I found myself thinking "Oh? Really?" in a sarcastic tone. Even my husband found it hilariously repetitive.
The rest of the book was full of stereotypes that I frankly could not relate to. I was a bit offended by the insinuations that women are clingy. I have never been clingy or over emotional, and many of my friends do not seem this way either.
I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it seemed as if Dr. Gray was insinuating that women were inferior to men. I do not believe that there is a weaker sex and this book was full of that idea.
I found it entertaining later that Dr. Gray was divorced. I'm not exactly up to par with taking advice from someone who not only seems sexist, but also failed in his own personal marriage.
