Wise Adages from "Men are from Mars..."
In honor of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus LIVE gracing the stage of The American Theatre, we chose ten quotes from John Gray's novel that inspire us to improve communication:
- “We are unique individuals with unique experiences”
- "If we are to feel the positive feelings of love, happiness, trust, and gratitude, we periodically also have to feel anger, sadness, fear, and sorrow."
- "Mental chemistry creates interest, emotional chemistry generates affection, physical chemistry generates desire, and spiritual chemistry creates love. A soulmate includes all four...and I will not settle for anything less!"
- "Fortunately perfection is not a requirement for creating great relationships."
- "Men mistakenly expect women to think, communicate, and react the way men do; women mistakenly expect men to feel, communicate, and respond the way women do."
- "When misunderstandings arise, remember that we speak different languages; take the time necessary to translate what your partner really means or wants to say. This definitely takes practice, but it is well worth it."
- "Love is magical, and it can last, if we remember our differences."
- "When the student is ready the teacher appears. When the question is asked then the answer is heard. When we are truly ready to receive then what we need will become available."
- "Not only do men and women communicate differently but they think, feel, perceive, react, respond, love, need, and appreciate differently."
- "Quite often, when one partner makes a positive change the other will also change. This predictable coincidence is one of those magical things about life."
