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: Disrespect, Part 2: Anger, Part 3: Insecurity, Part 4: The Burden of Providing, Part 5: Sex, Part 6: What Sex Means to a Man, Part 7: Visual Stimulation, Part 8: Romance, Part 9: A Woman’s Looks, Part 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.
