Here the question is
what is that thing which made this book so famous & it ranked first made
this book in 1990’s. The answer here will be the theme of this book. This book
is actually a guide for better communication in your relationship and to tell
your partner that what you want from a relationship. Author says that the most
of the problems between men and women occur because of difference in
psychology. Men and women view same thing differentially therefore here author
has said that its just like that men are from mars and women are from Venus.
Both follow their customs and rules of their own planets and not of others.
Here author says that a mostly man complains that whenever they try to give the
solutions of any problems, women’s don’t show interest. They just want to talk
about it but not solve it.
Author here says that
most of the problems in relationships can be solved by understanding the ways
in which they respond to situation and stress. Author further explains that
both men and women calculate the amount of give & take in their
relationships. Negative feelings can develop if someone feels that they have
given more in a relationship. At this time only communication between men &
women can bring the relationship to its normal state.
Review Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
Another idea which
author has put in this book is the way both genders react in stressful
situations. Gray says that in stressful situations men want to hide in their
cores like going out of house or going to friends avoiding any argument while
on the other hand women want to discuss their issue and problems with someone
they are close to. This habit of men has always been for women to understand
therefore it usually causes conflicts between them.
Gray says that women
usually feel negative when they are giving their time and love to someone but
are not getting equal time and love in return. Here Gray advises men to give
equal time and love to women.
Production of a film
on this book was started in 2013. This book was also adapted for a stage show
in 2007. Recently this book has also been adapted for stage show in France . It has
been running for six years in Paris .
Along with its fame,
this book has also received a lot of criticism. This criticism is for placing
human psychology into stereotypes. An author named Julia T. Wood gave a
critical response to this famous book. Another critical response which this
book received was from a professor of Prudue University .
She says that men and
women are not that much different according to the survey. She concluded that
this book shows that being masculine for men means they are hurting other and
downplaying stressful situations. This thinking is not right for a relationship.
A professor from Stony
Brook University ,
Michael Kimmel supports this idea and says that men and women are not that much
different as shown in this book. According to another study conducted by Harry
Reis and Bobbi Carothers, which included over 13000 people, men and women
cannot be categorized differently. The saying that they react differently during
different situations in their relationships is totally untrue. Both equally
care about their relationship.
