Book Reviews of VoiceMale: What Husbands Really Think About Their Marriages, Their Wives, Sex, Housework, and Commitment
Book Review: Male Thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book which explains how men think. It describes in detail the problems my male friends complain about. Since the time I finished reading the book, I have loaned it to the wife of my best friend and the wife of my next door neighbor. Both women have read it and have said it helped them deal with their husbands. I highly recommend this book to any married woman who wants to improve her marriage. Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars
As someone who has read several books on the subject I'm finding this book disappointing. When I read reviews from other readers I could not wait to dive into this book. Now, I'm struggling to finish it. If men want an understanding of themselves I would pick up the Every Mans series by Stephen Arterburn or "True Believer" by Eric Hoffer.Book Review: is all the 5 star reviews guys under 30?
Summary: 2 Stars
First, "carry your weight around the house." (Husbands, keep reading, it comes with a surprising payoff!)
This means creating a fair environment, Chethik says. In other words, the division of labor needs to be equitable and something you both can agree on. That doesn't mean that he can't do the laundry and she can't run the lawnmower, but the work of running a household should be shared.
"Be sure that your wife does not think that she's in charge of cleaning and laundry and all that other sort of stuff," he said.
So what's the payoff? Chethik finds that "the more satisfied she is with the division of housework, the more satisfied she is with their sex life."
whats the big suprise here? over the last 20-30 men have been wussyfied into doing all the work now. its says in this book if men do the laundry and women mow the yard then we are learning the good trade.
what? when is the last time anyone seen a woman mowing a yard?!! working on the car? even CLEANING it men do, working on the home? Fix ANYTHING?
what a joke, men do all the yard work, work on the cars and home repairs, and oh lets get him to do all the inside too. and THEN momma will be happy and oh geee the sex will flow freely and joyous. Jeez men, what is going on with you! and getting a home cooked meal from women anymore? heck even MEN have that one down too, I cook better than most women i know and so do all the guys i know. and no not just talking about BBQ.
how old are these authors to this book? anyone know?
I am willing to bet they are under 30.
Book Review: Men and women should celebrate this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Author Neil Chethik has written an excellent, thoughtful, easy to read and enlightening view of the world of married men. They say statistics can lie, and I was wary when I saw the number: 288 married men, I worried that the results may not reflect the "average" man who struggles with the challenges of husbanding. Quite the contrary, Chethik's results parallel all the major studies done about men, and reinforce some of the keys to a happy marriages that researchers have discovered in the last 20 years.
I was a bit worried at the beginning of the book, because it seemed like all the interviews were with men in their second (or more) marriages. But, as the book progressed, I saw more representation of first marriages, and, in fact, like it or not, many men are already in their second marriage, so why not use their "expertise" and experience as well. This vehicle ended up being able to be used to the book's advantage, because it provided input into more marriages--the ones that worked and the ones that didn't work!
Chethik's first book, FatherLoss, was a winner, and this book is the same. I recommend it to many people who buy my book: "The Secrets of Happily Married Men."
Book Review: Voicemail-Men AND Women should read this!
