Trying to Understand Women

For Men Only by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn gives explanations and tips for men to better understand and relate to women, specifically significant others.
Based on a seemingly large amount of research, the quotes and figures offer interesting insight into the thoughts and feelings of females.
Written from a man's perspective, this book offers the information in a way that is able to understood by men on common relationship topics from listening to sex.
There were a few things I didn't like about this book, but mainly in the formatting and writing style. For example, every page or every other page has a certain sentence that is given emphasis by repeating it in its own little paragraph in the middle of the page, much like in many magazine articles. To me, this is distracting and not helpful in any way.
However, overall, the book could be life-changing. I wish it could be life-changing without any work on my part. However, many of the tips require intention on my part. Of course, marriage isn't easy, and this book is actually written to make it easier. Rather than fighting an uphill battle, the insight and tips from this book offer things the reader can do that will take work but will ultimately make life easier.
It was a quick read, and hopefully I will remember to put some of these things into practice.
I would recommend this book for any married man and probably some who aren't married.
