Single Men Are Like Waffles--Single Women Are Like Spaghetti: Friendship, Romance, and Relationships That Work

Rating:
Summary: Great Book About Relationships.
Review: As a single guy trying to understand the female mentality and in an attempt to make myself a more understanding potential partner, I've read a lot of books on relationships over the years. Most are subpar and contain very little insight. During the past few years, the majority of books on relationships have tried to capitalize on the fame of MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN FROM VENUS. Besides certain political crusades and a few other uncatergorized variables, that book has done more to damage relationships than any other book published in the U.S. in the past decade.

SINGLE MEN ARE LIKE WAFFLES, SINGLE WOMEN ARE LIKE SPAGHETTI parodies the title of that famous book, but it isn't anything like it. This book actually contains practical advice that people can use and makes sense. It's great for single people interested in being in a relationship and for those who are already together and considering pursuing marriage. Bill and Pam Farrel are a husband and wife team and their combined insights make this book that much more valuable. The book is written in a logic, homey sort of way without any technical mumble-jumble characteristic of other relationship books.

The book also has some great lists that are both hilarious and insightful. In fact, it was the lists that made me buy the book while flipping through the pages at a Christian book store.

I had first heard this book recommended by the speaker of a Christian camp I worked at. He gave it his highest approval and recommended all the summer staff read it. I did and am glad to say, he was right. It is one of the best books on relationships I have ever read, especially with a Christian perspective. I highly recommend it, too.

Summary: A humorous book that makes sense!
Review: Finally! The mystery of the male and female mismatch is unveiled! The authors explained why guys and girls think differently, using the analogy of waffles and spaghetti. According to the authors, men always think within a box, and they can only be occupied with a box at a time, unlike women who link their thoughts together like spaghetti. My boyfriend and I resolved some of our prior misunderstands through this book! Now I know his lack of concern for me was because he was preoccupied with another thing, and since he couldn't perform multitasking like me, thus he remained preoccupied with his own issue. It's not because he wanted to, but because he could not help it! This book provides a deeper insight to understanding your partner, and is particularly useful for unmarried Christian couples, offering useful biblical advices. I love this book!

Summary: Opposites Attract
Review: Sometimes, my girlfriend and I seem to come from opposite ends of the spectrum. This book has helped both of us better understand the opposite sex and the role we play in our relationships. The book provides a humorous spin to all those common gender differences we struggle with.

I recommend this book, and I also suggest that you read it with your partner. You'll be able to learn about each other together. Definitely a great help to those relationships that are floundering, or a way to strengthen the bond you share with that special someone.
