Discover the truth he wants you to know in this revised and updated edition of the landmark bestseller that reveals what every woman—single or married—needs to know about the important man in her life. More than 2 million copies sold in the series! “Meaningful information for any woman wanting to understand men at a profound level.”—Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, authors of Love Talk Men carry important feelings so deep inside they barely know they’re there, much less how to talk about them. Yet your man genuinely wants you to “get” him—to understand his inner life, to know his fears and needs, to hear what he wishes he could tell you. Based on rigorous research with thousands of men, For Women Only delivers one eye-opening revelation after another , including: • Why your respect means more to him than your love. • How he feels deep inside about his role as provider. • What it means for a man to be so visually “wired.” • Why sex for him is primarily emotional, not physical. • What he most wishes he could say to you. Now, in this expanded and updated edition, you’ll find insights from the latest brain research plus an all-new chapter that shows what’s really going on when he seems to “check out.” (You’ll be surprised and pleased.) Millions worldwide have experienced dramatic change in their relationships because of the “aha” moments and practical ideas in For Women Only . Discover how to love your man for who he really is.

Review: I have been married 20 years and was recommended this book by a close friend - Insightful, helpful, shocking. I believe this book is a must read for every woman in a committed relationship with a man IF she truly cares about his personal well-being and truly wants a deeper, more meaningful relationship with him. I have been married 20 years and was recommended this book by a close friend. I secretly ordered it (I didn't tell or share anything about with with my hubs) and began reading it with her and began weekly discussion about how it was helping us understand our husbands in ways that shocked, but thoroughly educated us. It is hard to tell everyone what I learned from this book, there was just too much. I worked hard to be open-hearted to the material and asked prayed to have the wisdom to apply it to my relationship with my husband. He began responding very positively to me immediately and could tell a difference in the level of respect I was showing him. I was finally showing him respect in the way that means respect to him, not how I was showing "respect" as I understood it, which was not really respect at all. My changes opened up healthy communication between us as I began to earn his trust. I can see that my husband feels safer talking to me and our unity has moved to a whole new level. I finally shared what I was reading and he was very pleased. My changes caused him to get the For Men Only audios (he prefers listening) without any promoting or prompting from me. I was very shocked and very pleased. We don't use the materials to be manipulative or hurtful, but we are giving each other time and space to grow. He even purchased and sent copies of the book to our daughter and her husband because he believes so much in these books! I asked our young married son to skim through For Women Only to ask if he thought it was valid and he said YES! almost with a shout, especially the chapter on respect. So I'm already conducting my own research with the men in my family, just to ask questions and learn at a deeper level, what it is that they truly need from us, the women they love so dearly. As Shaunti says, not every single thing will apply to your man, and I knew that for sure. But when you start to make little changes with thought and prayer, it will help your man to trust and appreciate you more. A million thanks, Shaunti and Jeff. Keep sharing and helping the millions of married, clueless men and women out there find help, hope and understanding.
Review: One of only three books I'd call absolutely MUST HAVE marriage books! - When I got married I wanted so much to be a godly and great wife to my hubby! What I didn't realize was that sometimes my female brain with its ways of thinking and showing my love to him and his male brain and the way it is wired meant that sometimes there were things that I was doing, or not doing, that were causing problems I didn't even realize were there! Thankfully through several different women and blogs I caught on early on into our marriage (probably 2 1/2 years) through books that there were several areas that needed work! I am so thankful that I was able to be enlightened to these things early on--and wish I had known sooner!!!! So now for every bridal shower that I attend my gift is three books: For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn; A Good Girls Guide to Great Sex by Shelia Wray Gregoire; and Created to Be His Helpmeet. I include a letter with the books explaining why and how each has shaped and changed my marriage for the better. I first read For Women Only a few years after it was released in . A friend had actually given my Mom a copy and I read through it during one of my trips back home as we were talking about marriage and marriage books. There were so many "lightbulb" moments I had from it! I went back home (I was on the trip home by myself) and after a few days my hubby remarked "I guess I should send you back home alone more often, you always come back more awesome than ever--what on earth is going on??!!" (it happens that a previous trip back home was when I was first introduced to Created To Be His Helpmeet as well--both me and my hubby are super thankful to the ladies back home, haha). So when I saw that For Women Only, Revised and Updated Edition: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men was coming out I couldn't wait to get a copy of it! As I re-read it I was struck again by many of the things that made me have "lightbulbs" the first time, and had other things make me go, "Oh!" that didn't the first time-as with every marriage your husbands needs and your situation in life are constantly changing. I loved the all-new chapter "The Thinker" One thing that has always baffled me to no end--and frustrated my husband to no end--is when we get into an in-depth discussion, especially when we have a difference of opinion, and I thoroughly and (in my mind) efficiently put forth my case and he just sits there and says nothing and when I really press him he says something along the lines of "I can't explain it right now but that's not want I think should/want to happen." This chapter made several light bulbs go off as to this whole dynamic and why it does *not* work--and what I can begin to do instead! One chapter that really made a huge difference the first time I read this book was the one on the importance of staying fit/taking care of the way you look. After we first got married I (unknowingly) put on about 30 pounds (if you've followed my slim and trim quest you already know about this). I read this book right around the time that I had realized that I had gone up so much in weight and it really smacked me at how unhappy Bob probably was about it but, like all good hubbies, he had never said a word! Sure enough now that I'm actively working out and trying my best to take care of the way I look, even post-two kids, he's (very gingerly, when I brought it up) mentioned how hard that was on him! This book really is everything your husband wishes you knew about him--but would die before telling you himself, or simply doesn't "get" that you don't "get"! As I said--this is one of only three books I'd call absolutely MUST HAVE marriage books! It's a short, easy read but wow, what an amazing little book it is!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Information
*by S***N on April 26, 2023*

This is one of my favorite relationship books and I recommend it to every couple. I am the wife and read this to try to understand my husband a little better. Although I recommend having your husband read it to explain what is applicable to him and what isn't. Just as I had read the Only for Men to see if it was applicable to me. I will say that I learned more about myself than I thought I would from Only for Men. I realized what I was feeling and finally how to convey my feelings thanks to this book. I gave it to my husband to read, telling him if he really wanted to understand me, that book explained it. Since he has read Only for Men, he really has been applying it and we have greatly improved our communication. Many a dumb argument has been extinguished at the start and I feel the care. With the knowledge of both books in my arsenal, I am able to convey my feelings better and understand why I react to some things, myself, as well as find understanding as to why my husband might be feeling or reacting the way he does, based off of Only for Women. I also really appreciate how this book offers statistics and common answers among common people in order to find out why the majority of people feel and react the way they do, rather than a therapist offering their opinions. I don't think I've gotten such accurate answers before. I will say that I preferred reading Only for Men, as Only for Women was kind of dull and emotional. Maybe I have more of a man's brain lol I needed the humor and encouragement within Only for Men from the author to help me keep reading. Even if it isn't 100 percent applicable to you and your relationship, it is still a great read with valuable tools that could even help with any relationship between men and women. Understanding the base of a man's mind and the possible likely reasons behind his actions is such a good feeling. I apply it to my father and brothers, even, since they too, are men. I would also love to take a look at the other Only For books to gain some more insight to other relationships.
