I think men and women both need to read it, regardless of how their relationships are. It puts "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" to shame on the real differences between men and women. It's so simple..... men need Respect, that's how they feel loved. Women need Love (emotional and physical affection), that how we feel loved.
