Bill FarrelMen Are Like Waffles--Women Are Like Spaghetti: Understanding and Delighting in Your Differences

Love the stories. So true...Good for men & women to read.

Practical Guide. The great place to begin to understand how the opposite sex typically thanks. No definitive answer to how you’re made actually thanks though. It is a great place to start to understand what you know that you didn’t know. I do think it’s a must read For anyone that has noticed they seem to have trouble understanding the people there with.

Can’t give you an answer I’m just on the first chapter but so far it’s amazing! welcome back and give an additional review. FYI... my daughter bought this for m!

Interesting topic. Definitely makes sense and puts things into perspective. Not sure if I fully agree with the strong emphasis on religion, but I also understand who wrote the book and why they did it that way. Very helpful and will recommend to others.

Bought this to read to my fiance in the car while he's driving, and it did not disappoint! Highly entertaining and also useful book that does help the opposite sexes understand one another.

I’m not a huge fan of religious antidotes, comparisons or references in my face. My bad.

I think this book is fine if you need basic relationship advice and have a marriage based on very traditional gender roles and want a pretty quick, cute read. The problem is that the authors present the different gender traits of men and women as fact and ordained by God, rather than recognizing that gender roles have changed over time and vary considerably by culture. Thus, to say men are "this way," and women are "that way," and this is how God intended it, does not take into account the many, many women and men who aren't "that way."By making these blanket statements about how men and women are, it raises the question of whether something is wrong with me as a woman, or with my husband, as a man, if we aren't how these two authors say we're supposed to be. Are my husband and I somehow deviant from God's plan if I'm the one who thinks spatially and reads maps better and he doesn't compartmentalize his life the way men are "supposed" to.Their approach is simplistic... simplistic to the point of almost being meaningless. We started this book in our adult Sunday school class today, and everyone who had a comment about the book (well over half the class) thought that the book missed a real opportunity to help us build stronger relationships by not focusing on differences (based on each individual's strengths) and how to work through them, and instead couching these differences narrowly in how men and women are supposed to act. The book can't really "help" me if I don't see myself and my individual gifts recognized in its pages.Lastly, the biblical references in each chapter are minimal. If you're looking for a Bible study that helps you build a stronger marriage, keep looking. If you're looking for a simple "marriage help" book with a few cute stories and a couple of references to God and a one or two verse quotation from the Bible, you've found your book.

If you are wanting to understand why people of the opposite sex seem to be operating under a totally different set or rules, this is the book to get. It is co-written by a married couple, so it really does have both points of view about men and women. There are many great gems in this book.An added bonus is that it is an easy read, there's fun stories and humor to lighten it up. I enjoy reading about a chapter at a time, and then trying to see if that is true about my significant other. Often, it is true. Some things are less applicable than others but for the most part Bill and Pam Farrel really hit the nail on the head.I would highly suggest this book for any one who is trying to understand their husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, coworkers, boss, or even friends. I have even learned quite a bit about myself, why I think the way I do and how my brain works. So it can be useful even for learning about yourself.

Great resource material for couples struggling with their marriages. Very helpful in spiking back love and romance in couples. Recommend to all the married.

Very honest and true to life explanation of men and women. Difficult to carry out, but definately improving our communication and relationship.

dont bother investing in ths book, its not worth it. the content seems to be a repetition of other books.

As a couple who often does pre-marital counselling, we recommend this book as a starting point. It is a good resource that discusses the differences in men and women especially in the areas of communication and conflict resolution. It is also a good refresher for those who have been married for a while too!

The concept is well explained and easy to understand. Every couple should read this book. It would remove s lot of frustration.
