An awesome book

Ok ladies, if you plan on getting married, the book, Making Sense of the Men in Your Life by Dr. Kevin Leman, is a must read. It will help you understand things about guys that, I am convinced, would help every married couple if every wife or future wife was willing and/or wanting to improve the relationship.

 

Here is something that Dr. Leman says in the book. It’s not the main message or anything, but I was like "YES!" and totally agree. When he said what I am about to quote, he was particularly talking about the abortion issue and about it being the woman’s choice and that the guy is supposed to just say, "Whatever you say, dear". And I quote: "The women’s groups are saying that there is no ’objective’ male responses. Being a ‘responsible male’ has been turned into doing whatever the woman wants you to do. Don’t have your own opinion; just follow along." -Dr. Kevin Leman.

 

Whether or not equal-rights-as-guys females want to admit it or not, being pregnant DOES affect the father very much so in more ways than one and he deserves the right to an opinion. I don’t agree with the past ways of abusing wives and females (considering I am a female that would make sense), but they have gone SO far the other way that they’ve illogically taken the males rights away with it. Balance people, we need balance. It is good to protect the abused, but it is bad to totally take everything out of proportion and, these days, that is way too easy to do.

 

Ok, so back to the book lol. Basically this book will help bring you to a "guy’s world" and help you understand what it is to be a guy. Now I can see some of my guy friends freaking out already, I can already hear you thinking "You’re reading WHAT?!", as if you feel like maybe someone’s reading your diary or something. So here is a reassuring note to all of my guy friends; don’t worry at all. The more females that read it, the better life is for you in the long run if the ladies closest to you really care about you, your feelings and how hard it may be for you at times. I would say that all females and mothers of boys should read this book. People have life hard enough on earth without other people making it more complicated so we should do all we can to simplify others’ lives as much as possible when it comes to relationships and such. We should work towards understanding each other so that we can live in better harmony and help each other through life. I love reading about people and how I can better my relationships so it is not hard at all for me to read this book. But even if you’re not a big reader or at least maybe not relationship books you really NEED to read it if you want the most out of your opposite sex relationships.

 

Anyways, I chatted WAY longer than I planed about this so I needa go! I would LOVE to hear your input on some of the things I specified and would also like to hear if any of you start reading it. KEEP ME POSTED!!!

LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER

Thanks for posting this Dory! I agree with you on the 'balance' we need. I am reading a book (well, kinda sorta) called And the Bride Wore White by Dannah Gresh. it's a book on 'purity'.
thanks for the comment. haha, that's okay, I don't mind him acting like that. That's too bad. I'm sorry about your bunnies!
I listen to anything Christian I guess. Some times I'll listen to other things, like some country and other stuff. But I don't like it as much as the Christian music.
What do you listen to?

Sep. 19, 2006 - NOTE about book

Posted by ChristROCKS
Also, I forgot to mention that this book was not intended for young girls. I would say she should be 15 or so (depending on her maturity) to read it.

Chris, I understand why you might think that, but Dr. Kevin Leman is a male and does marital counseling. He has a lot of experiance with relationships. Obviously things differ slightly male to male, you have to use some discretion and pay attention to that male in particular. But I don't think guys understand how little some ladies actually know, so this book gives us a little bit of a generalization about how most guys are. Also, most of the stuff in this book Chris, is not exactly good to be discussing with your guy friends, sometimes a Husband, but probably not generally with just friends. Anyways, thanks for the offer, but like I said, this guy is a guy LOL AND! I've also read other books similar to this one.....they all say some of the same things....lol

it is written by an adult. There is tons of diferences between some Doctor in his 40s and a teen guy.

k here is my prob.

i hate it when someone tells girls what guys are like when guys are all very different. i mean guys don't want to be thought of as "guys" but as themselfves. and i think most people feel the same way. i may think the same was a girl does in one area. and vice versa.

and no i don't like have a prob with you reading it. i just was giving my thoughts.

i don't know. i just think that maybe we need to think about things in more of a human light then alway under "boy" and "girl". i really think the sexes are closer then people want to think. there are all kinds of people and i don't think that rules for what "guy" vs what "girls" think ever work.

you asked for it (lol)

Yo, I’ve only been to one YCL. My dad sort of came to FOFC because they didn’t have youth group and stuff. He thinks it splits up the family. I disagree of course.

I believe God made male and females different, but also very much the same. There are women who are stronger, braver, and more emotionally stable then men. There are men that are very “womanly”. I really don’t think this is because of woman’s lib or another modern things. It has been this was for a long time. In some cultures (American Indian) the women did most of the work to keep the family alive.
Sometimes the dad is the homemaker and the woman the bread winner. The dad could be disabled, unemployed, or simply want this. Is it wrong for them to “switch roles”? I don’t think so.
We all have different personalities and gifts. The woman has the kids, and usually is not as strong as a man, but I think the differences stop there. In the church the man in above the woman as in the family but other that this I believe the woman can be over a man.
