Book Review (all 10 parts): For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn

For women only

 

Shaunti Feldhahn’s For Women Only: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men was published years ago but continues to be cited as a favorite by many counselors. While I believe Feldhahn makes a handful of good points, I think she — like most relationship experts — overlooks the real cause of relationship problems. 

By request, here are all 10 parts of my critique. For your convenience, each post contains links to prior and subsequent posts.

Part 1: DisrespectPart 2: AngerPart 3: InsecurityPart 4: The Burden of ProvidingPart 5: SexPart 6: What Sex Means to a ManPart 7: Visual StimulationPart 8: RomancePart 9: A Woman’s LooksPart 10: Saying “I Love You"

Hopefully, the time you saved by reading these posts can be applied to enjoying one of my favorite life-changing books instead.

Note: Feldhahn’s later book, For Couple's Only, is actually a compilation of two books: For Women Only and For Men Only. In this series, I analyze the first. The summaries of each point were pulled from this post, by Jim Burns.
