About this audiobook
Breakfast food or dinner dish? You and your spouse are delightfully different.
Men process like waffles. They think and act by moving from box to box. They enter a box, size up the single problem, and formulate a solution.
Women process life like a plate of spaghetti. Each issue is like an individual noodle that touches every other noodle on the plate. They find it natural to multitask.
In this innovative and fun approach to the differences between men and women, relationship experts Bill and Pam Farrel provide humorous stories, easy-to-understand examples, and clear directions to help you achieve harmony in your marriage. From raising children to divvying up household chores, Bill and Pam reveal practical ways you and your mate can be supportive of each other and create a dynamic marriage.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a book that not only celebrates the differences between men and women, but also pokes fun at those differences and offers constructive ways to improve your marriage. I listened to the audiobook version at my desk while at work. There were times when I laughed out loud at some of the stories or jokes being told. And of course there were some really good, serious points made as well. And the Farrel's do not sidestep some of the major challenges most married couples face like sex and parenting roles. Rather, they jump right in and offer their analysis of the issues, what works for them in their marriage, and what might work for you and I in our marriages. I wouldn't say any particular portion of the book was earth-shatteringly new information. If you've read books by Gary Smalley or John Gray, you'll certainly be familiar with many of the topics addressed here. After all, the issues married couples deal with do tend to be very similar from couple to couple. However, I found that the way the Farrel's presented the topics to be entertaining and relevant. And many of the chapters served as a great reminder for me personally on the reasons my wife and I process life differently at times. I really liked their Christ-centered view of marriage and the way we should deal with our differences. Overall, I think this is a great book. One that every married couple should read (or listen to). You'll laugh and say "great point" to yourself the entire way. You might also say, "So that's why my spouse reacts that way sometimes?". And if you take to heart the message the book is presenting and put some of those practical suggestions to work for you, I am confident your marriage will improve
