About Jennifer Andrew

Mars and Venus on a Date After my seven-year marriage dissolved, I felt I needed something to get me in tune to the dating scene of the new era. A friend of mine had suggested this book so I read it with speculation and hesitation. I am glad that I did because I enjoyed it.

John Gray, the well known author of the best selling book Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, takes you through the steps and stages of dating so that you end up in a lasting relationship. He lists five stages that you have to go through successfully to end up married or in a meaningful relationship.

In Mars and Venus on a Date, you are brought through stage one, which is attraction, and then onto stage two categorized as uncertainty. Stage three and four deal with exclusivity and intimacy. The last stage that John Gray introduces you to is engagement, which goes into how to make up with each other so that your relationship doesn't lead to a break up and he explains the different reasons why men and women get married. What I liked about the book is that it is intended for both men and women. It helps you to understand how the opposite sex feels. Let's face it. No one understands the opposite sex but after I read the book, I had more insight into how each sex thinks and feels about dating and relationships.

I didn't think I could utilize this book but it came in handy while I was dating. With a little bit of experimenting, I was able to see what John Gray was talking about in his book. It is written with good intentions and with a good heart from a man who has produced a total of seven books on relationships between men and women. He has a Ph. D. and has been conducting seminars for 26 years in major cities.

I enjoyed reading this book because in a humorous and thoughtful fashion, it touches on all aspects of dating and explains the reasoning why men and women do what they do especially after that first date. It's fascinating to read about how you can attract and choose the right person that is meant for you. The book tells you about the warning signs to look out for so you don't get involved with the wrong person, it teaches you how to bring out the best in your partner and covers many other topics that are very useful and important for you to know. It makes dating more fun and exciting.

Mars and Venus on a Date is a good self-help book to read when you find yourself back in the dating game.
