For Women OnlyShaunti Feldhahn  What's going on in a man's mind? From their early days, every woman has struggled to understand why males behave the way they do. Even long-married women who think they understand men have only scratched the surface. Beneath a man's rugged exterior is an even more rugged, unmapped terrain. What bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn's research reveals about the inner lives of men will open women's eyes to what the men in their life-boyfriends, brothers, husbands, and sons-are really thinking and feeling. Men want to be understood, but they're afraid to "freak out" the women they love by confessing what is happening inside their heads. This book will guide women in how to provide the loving support that modern men want and need.

Well I can say that for the most part I learned a lot of positive things about my husband because of this book. The communication line is much better. BUT... I for one do not believe that my husband is a hormone driven dog drooling at every pair of legs that walk by. And that is what Feldhahn has led me to believe with all of her "charts". I had a serious very open and honest discussion with my husband about some of the content in her book and there were some things that were just wrong. My hope is that young married women do not get the wrong idea about their husbands, and that married men do not get a green light from Feldhahn to act like pigs. 142 out of 281 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?  |  Response to 12/31/07 Review (written by Woman Who is Alone) - 6/25/2008I read the book and found it to be incredibly insightful. My husband is a christian who strongly values his faith and his relationship with God. Shaunti Feldhahn's book opened lines of communication in our marriage and gave me a greater understanding of my husband. In response to the 12/31/07 review, I believe this reader completely missed the point of Feldhahn's book. The reader's voice sounds angry and defensive. In truth, I believe the reader stuggles with fear. I believe that the root of her fear is the realization that we cannot control others (ie, our husbands). We can only control our own behavior, and pray for others. This book raises the question of what is more important: is it a person's thought life or his behavior? Obviously, a man's thought life is a key part of his relationship with God. But isn't one's behavior a window into how that person chooses to steer his or her thoughts? One of my favorite quotes is "Who we ARE is God's gift to us; and what we DO with who we are is our gift to God" (anonymous). Regardless of the temptations that a man may struggle against internally, his path in life and his BEHAVIOR are his gifts to God! 159 out of 333 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? | Great Book. Definitely would recommend this! - 4/16/2008I've read this book and have been able to discuss it with my husband in detail. We both think that it is a great book for understanding one another better (along with For Men Only). It opened up the door of communication for us. Because most women don't understand the struggles that men go through, this book may be a shock at first, but it enabled me to understand my husband better and to pray for him more. We, women, have our own struggles and so do men. That is why it helps to understand them, encourage them and pray for them. In no way has this book made me question my husband's faithfulness or godly convictions. It has just helped me to communicate with him better and even to respect him more. Definitely a must read book for women (and if you are married, talk to your husband about it!). 189 out of 367 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? | Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! - 4/14/2008This is the first time I've written a review on a book I've read and I really felt compelled to do it after reading the other review that has been posted. I could not disagree more. This book has been a HUGE eye opener for me and has given me such a better understanding of my husband. It has really helped me to communicate with him better and to see things from his perspective. So many of my struggles (and I think the same is true for most of us) in marriage have been a lack of understanding of simply the differences in the way God created men and women in the way we think and respond. For example. the first chapter of this book deals with how a man receives/perceives respect. I'm on my second time through reading this book, and again, I sit there reading it going, "What?! I just had no idea that's how most men feel and think about respect! It's so foreign to how women think!" I have had that reaction to pretty much every chapter. For me, reading this book has helped me go from being so frustrated in some areas of relating to my husband, to understanding that is how God made men in general and I can either choose to continue to be frustrated with God's design, or accept it and learn to change my reactions through this new understanding. It has helped me to have a lot more peace and love in the way I relate to my husband. So, I hope that is helpful. Every woman who has men in their lives - single, married, divorced, moms, daughters, friends - should read this book. 178 out of 355 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? | For Women Only -- The Guide to Living Alone Forever. - 12/31/2007This book made me cringe from start to finish. If men are as horrible as Shaunti Feldhahn claims, how is anyone married.....anywhere? We can safely assume, from reading this astounding piece of literature, that all men are animals. All they can think about when faced with a pretty woman is that she is a piece of meat waiting to be devoured through fantasy after fantasy in thier mind. Regardless of his current marital status OR his relationship with God, he has animal instincts, case closed. Women should then, according to Shaunti Feldhahn, applaud their seemingly loyal husband in his difficult and strenuous struggle to remain monogomous, in thought and action. I feel no need to apologize for the fact that this book left me sick to my stomach. The fact that someone can publish this horrific book and paste the title of "Christian" on it is phenominally disturbing. Christian men are not perfect, I readily admit, but they are definitly held to a higher standard and should take their thought life seriously. Marriage is not for wimps, and if the man is not able to be loyal to his wife, he should never attempt to wed in the first place. Let's grow up and stop making excuses for those with fidelity problems. Shaunti Feldhahn is continueing to plant seeds of doubt in all women's minds that their husbands will never be completely satisfied with them, ever. I feel truely sorry that she must live with such a sad, warped view of reality. Blanket statements about men cannot be made simply because one has had negative life experiences. Never read this book, it is full of lies and negative views on the male species. 183 out of 400 visitors found this review helpful.
