highly recommended

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.

The Truth About His Inner Life

He Desperately Wants You to Know

What's going on in there? Ever been totally confused by something your man has said or done? Want to understand his secret desires and fears, his daily battles that you know nothing about?

In a woman-to-woman conversation you?ll never forget, Shaunti Feldhahn takes you beneath the surface into the inner lives of men. This book is about the things we just don?t ?get? about guys. With findings from a groundbreaking national survey and personal interviews of over one thousand men, For Women Only is full of eye-opening revelations you need to not only understand the man in your life, but to support and love him in the way he needs to be loved. Grounded in biblical hope, you will discover how to love your man for who he really is?not who you think he is.

Story Behind the Book

I had no idea how clueless I was about men until I interviewed a bunch of them for my last novel. Initially, I just wanted a little insight so I could write my main (male) character. But pretty soon I found myself astonished, over and over again blurting out, ?That?s what you?re thinking?? So I did more interviews. After the novel hit shelves, dozens of women told me they also had been astonished by what I included. Clearly I wasn?t the only one who needed more insight on this!

To lay the groundwork for this nonfiction book, I wrote out the half-dozen things from these interviews that had most surprised me?things that appeared to be universal to most men?that women desperately needed to know. I conducted a professional national survey of men to test my findings. Yep?the survey substantiated every single one. These findings are fascinating?and they have already changed my life and marriage. I can?t wait to share them!

Must read for married women

I highly recommend this book to married women everywhere. Although not every man feels the same way about the different issues discussed in this book, I think it will give women great insight into how differently men think and why they do the things they do. It may also help us to be better wives. After reading this book, my attitude toward my husband has changed for the better and I see him as my partner who has needs, however different they may be from mine. My one recommendation for women reading this book -- read it prayerfully.

a must read for all wives!

I highly recommend that all women, married or not, read chapter 2, "Your Love is Not Enough, Why Your Respect Means More to Him Than Even Your Affection" I now give these books as wedding presents.

Amazing book

This is an eye opening book for women on learning to support, love and encourage your husband.

he should be reading the counterpart. it's not all on you, girl!

I agree with other reviewers that this may encourage women to be less assertive of their needs and more understanding when their husbands are doing things the don't understand/agree with.
This book did help me understand my man but he's still accountable for his actions.
He read the counterpart for men and has adapted his behaviors as well. If you have the sort of relationship where you can work together it can't hurt for both to become more understanding!
This book has religious undertones but it's tolerable.

For Women only

I wish I had read this book at the beginning of my marriage, now 22 years later I am still doing the same thing I did when I first got married with no good results.

Now, I have started changing my remarks in public about my husband that I did not realize were detrimental to how he feels about himself. There are lots of things I never truly realized about men. We are so totally different. I complained about him working long hours and that is one way he is saying he loves me and the kids by providing for us. To me that is a sacrifice to the family, and yet to him it is the man's job.

Just little things like that to help me see things in a different perspective.
