Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

I decided to read this book because I'm a Dave Ramsey fan and it was one of the books on his recommended reading. I've been married for 10 years, but I figured it couldn't hurt to learn to communicate a little better. I'm not sure this book helped any. It's written with the assumption that all men are alike and all women are alike and that most of them have a "traditional" marriage or relationship. There is something sexist in the author's tone. He paints the women as the homemakers with a love of shopping and nurturing. He paints the men as the breadwinners who want to come home from work and watch sports on TV until you bring them their dinner.
The only insight I gained from the book was the different ways that men and women react to and deal with stress. The book was boring, very repetitive and seemed to drag on and on for much longer than needed to convey it's message.

What did I gain of value? The different ways that men and women deal with stress? Wasn't even two stars worth. I was generous with a second star because this might be helpful to couples that fit into the narrow stereotype and can't relate to someone of the opposite sex. That's definitely not us or anyone we know. We've been married over 16 years and can't relate to the people the book is aimed at in any way.
Fair enough.I've been studying the way certain books have changed in their reception over time and this one has undergone the most dramatic change (it seems), thus I'm attempting the gather general data on the nature of the transformation.
Thanks for you thoughts.

Robby, let us know when you finish your cat book
If I want to write a book about cats, I observe the behavior of a variety of cats and then document the similarities. Never do I claim there won't be an exception to my findings somewhere in the cat world.
