Since it came out in the
early 1990s, the relationship book, “Men Are From Mars, Women Are
From Venus” has sold million of copies. The book and the author
John Gray have
since achieved almost cult status worldwide. John Gray has since become the world number 1 relationship author and speaker.
Being a book on
relationships of sexes, “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From
Venus” had never appeal to a guy like me. To me, it was simply
one of those self-help books to take up
from the shelves under
the ‘stressed’ circumstances between your partner/spouse
and you and you want solution to your relationship problems. Indeed I
was caught in a web of
estranged relationship which prompted me to go for it as it was the only alternative cheap solution than finding a psychologist.
Like many others, I have
found my life and some of my relationships reflected among the pages.
The book was very helpful in clearing up some of the causes of failed romances
in my past. When relationships are faced with challenges and problems,
many of us will always try to shut ourselves out and think that our
problems are unique to us and
no one could help us. We would often blame others but ourselves. I am
one of them. I wish I could say that I can learn from my mistakes but
only time will tell. Ever since
I read the book, I began
to see things differently and have a more open and forgiving not only
to my loved ones but to others. My relationship has benefited
tremendously.
Frankly speaking, if not
for that instant of impulse to get the book, I will be still in my
previous state of confusion over my relationship and my attitudes
toward life and love.
John Gray explains the
psychological differences between men and women particularly on the
difference between what they say and what they mean. Being a
psychologist, he has
managed to use a huge
pool of real-life examples from his own therapy sessions as counsellor
to help us understand and perceive situations from these different view
points. In the book, John
Gray interestingly called the Men as "Martians" and Women as
"Venusians" who both speak different languages. They are only remotely
connected to English.
The
“Martians” Men like to filter life's information. Gray
explains that when faced with problems or challenges, the
“Martians” Men like to isolate themselves, chew on them, determine
its scope, and try to solve it on my own. They do not others to offer
help to them and want others to trust them that they can handle the
situation and resolve them rationally.
It would seems to be a great insult to “Martians” Men if
others try to solve their problems as they think that they are better
at solving their own problems
than others. The "Venusians" Women are totally different from
“Martians” Men. They like to share their problems with
others and people to help them if they encounter
problems. Both sexes interpreted same verbal words and body languages
differently. Sometimes, the relationship problems are due to
misunderstanding and miscommunication between them.
If has offered great
insight into the barriers of communication with couples. While it is
clear that Men and Women do differ both physically and emotionally, we
are bound by love between them. It is love that we see each other as
equal and to be same.
Human-Human Relationship
particularly love relationship is really a complex issue. If we look
beyond love relationship to relationship between countries and states,
we would found that like men and women the fights and wars are always
due to misunderstanding and communication issues. Understanding how men
and women think and then translating
their actions not only help us to understand why they are certain
unforeseen outcomes in love relationship. It also help us to understand
our differences in this global villages called Earth and work towards to share our similarities.
