For Women Only – What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men

For Women Only What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men

What's going on in a man's mind? From their early days, every woman has struggled to understand why males behave the way they do. Even long-married women who think they understand men have only scratched the surface. Beneath a man's rugged exterior is an even more rugged, unmapped terrain. What bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn's research reveals about the inner lives of men will open women's eyes to what the men in their life — boyfriends, brothers, husbands, and sons — are really thinking and feeling. Men want to be understood, but they're afraid to "freak out" the women they love by confessing what is happening inside their heads. This book will guide women in how to provide the loving support that modern men want and need.

The Truth About His Inner Life

He Desperately Wants You to Know

What's going on in there? Ever been totally confused by something your man has said or done? Want to understand his secret desires and fears, his daily battles that you know nothing about?

In a woman-to-woman conversation you'll never forget, Shaunti Feldhahn takes you beneath the surface into the inner lives of men. This book is about the things we just don't 'get' about guys. With findings from a groundbreaking national survey and personal interviews of over one thousand men, For Women Only is full of eye-opening revelations you need to not only understand the man in your life, but to support and love him in the way he needs to be loved. Grounded in biblical hope, you will discover how to love your man for who he really is — not who you think he is.

Story Behind the Book

I had no idea how clueless I was about men until I interviewed a bunch of them for my last novel. Initially, I just wanted a little insight so I could write my main (male) character. But pretty soon I found myself astonished, over and over again blurting out, "That's what you're thinking?" So I did more interviews. After the novel hit shelves, dozens of women told me they also had been astonished by what I included. Clearly I wasn't the only one who needed more insight on this!

To lay the groundwork for this nonfiction book, I wrote out the half-dozen things from these interviews that had most surprised me — things that appeared to be universal to most men — that women desperately needed to know. I conducted a professional national survey of men to test my findings. Yep — the survey substantiated every single one. These findings are fascinating — and they have already changed my life and marriage. I can't wait to share them!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars for women only
This resource is excellent. It gives you great insight on men and the way they think. I have shared this book with all the women in our couples' ministry and it has gotten raving reviews. I highly recommend it to every married woman.

5 Stars Great insight
I got this book along with the companion book for Men Only and I have to say they are both excellent books with great insight into the lives of both men and women. I realize I wasn't really supposed to read this one but after reading the Men Only version and thinking how great it was I couldn't help but wonder how good the Women Only book was. Guys, all I can say is if you want help and to be more understood by your wife I highly recommend you purchase this book for your wife and For Men Only for yourself. They are both so accurate and insightful that I only wish I had read them sooner. The authors truly did their homework and really do a great job in laying out examples in daily life how the situations are bad at times and how they can be made better. They are both quick reads, quick enough that I read them both in one afternoon so it's not going to take a long time to do it. If you prefer, soak in a chapter or two at a time and discuss them with your spouse if you want and even then you could do it in a week. These books are truly every bit as good as the reviewers here on Amazon said, I'm glad I went ahead and got them. Ladies, all I can say is the author got it right with this one so if you want to better understand your husband this is a great starting point. All couples could benefit from these books regardless of whether you're just starting out or have been married for years, ironically, those of us married for more than a few years are the most surprised we didn't know this stuff yet or have figured it out. This was truly an eye opening experience and I know it can help any couple looking to better their relationship.

5 Stars Great book! Really helped me to understand men better!
I loved this book! It gave me greater insight into men and what causes them to respond to women the way they do. It also opened up a dialogue between me and my boyfriend where we feel comfortable talking about issues and what makes us tick.

I would recommend this book to any woman who is wanting to improve her relationship with her man.

5 Stars Hands down, the BEST book I've read on how to improve your marriage
For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn is subtitled What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men. I've read a couple of the other books in Feldhahn's series (For Parents Only, For Young Men Only), and even though I knew how good they were, I have to say I was shocked at how amazing this book was. Feldhahn did several surveys to get men to talk about what really matters to them and what their deepest feelings are about sex and what they want out of marriage. Respect is apparently number one, more than love, in what men require from their wives. Reading through what hurts men's feelings and how women can sabotage their self-esteem made me slouch down in my chair a bit as I realized that I have been guilty of many bad behaviors. Feldhahn treats men with deep respect, never playing to the stereotypes of sports-obsessed or couch potato, and she encourages women to respect their husbands more by understanding what makes them tick. I have to admit there were a few times that my jaw dropped (ahem, chapter six), and I'm working on making some things better (chapter eight). Feldhahn offers real advice that you can follow and writes in a chatty, easy-going manner. I gave my copy of this book away, but I'm going to have to buy another one, along with its partner volume!

5 Stars a book to bridge the communication gap!
In this day and age, where so many people think that just because men and women have equal value, they think they communicate the same and have the same needs….. This book helps you see the God given (and blessed!) differences, how to acknowledge and honor those differences and why.

This book – though written in a very conversational, casual style, is based on MANY large surveys conducted by the author through professional third party survey companies…. so it's not just hearsay, not just the author's observation and opinion. It covers many of the things you should know about how (and why) men respond to women the way they do. It even covers why they're frustrated why we don't understand – again – we're equally valued but different. I highly recommend this book – it's has even more to it than the Mars/Venus, Waffle/Spaghetti books.
