Product Description
What’s going on in a man’s mind? From their early days, every woman has struggled to understand why males behave the way they do. Even long-married women who think they understand men have only scratched the surface. Beneath a man’s rugged exterior is an even more rugged, unmapped terrain. What bestselling author Shaunti Feldhahn’s research reveals about the inner lives of men will open women’s eyes to what the men in their life?boyfriends, brothers, husbands, and sons?are really thinking and feeling. Men want to be understood, but they’re afraid to “freak out” the women they love by confessing what is happening inside their heads. This book will guide women in how to provide the loving support that modern men want and need.
The Truth About His Inner Life
He Desperately Wants You to Know
What's going on in there? Ever been totally confused by something your man has said or done? Want to understand his secret desires and fears, his daily battles that you know nothing about?
In a woman-to-woman conversation you’ll never forget, Shaunti Feldhahn takes you beneath the surface into the inner lives of men. This book is about the things we just don’t ?get’ about guys. With findings from a groundbreaking national survey and personal interviews of over one thousand men, For Women Only is full of eye-opening revelations you need to not only understand the man in your life, but to support and love him in the way he needs to be loved. Grounded in biblical hope, you will discover how to love your man for who he really is?not who you think he is.
Story Behind the Book
I had no idea how clueless I was about men until I interviewed a bunch of them for my last novel. Initially, I just wanted a little insight so I could write my main (male) character. But pretty soon I found myself astonished, over and over again blurting out, “That’s what you’re thinking?” So I did more interviews. After the novel hit shelves, dozens of women told me they also had been astonished by what I included. Clearly I wasn’t the only one who needed more insight on this!
To lay the groundwork for this nonfiction book, I wrote out the half-dozen things from these interviews that had most surprised me?things that appeared to be universal to most men?that women desperately needed to know. I conducted a professional national survey of men to test my findings. Yep?the survey substantiated every single one. These findings are fascinating?and they have already changed my life and marriage. I can’t wait to share them!

 A Refreshing Book January 6, 2009
I read this book with other women and watched the video that the author put together. The entire book was eye opening, encouraging, convicting, humbling and funny. I would want any woman who has a desire to see their marriage through their husbands eyes to read this book.
A Book to Change Your Relationship January 1, 2009
This is not a book about someone's opinions and personal observations about the opposite sex, though she does use her own experiences to illustrate points. Her insights are based on legitimate survey techniques, and through percentages, gives you an idea of what MOST men think, feel and need. And how they perceive love and acceptance from their woman. This book came about as a consequence of research for writing a fictional story, and what a learning experience it was! This book and her other book written for men to learn about women is life-changing, and will make you understand, finally, why men act the way they do, and put to rest some anxiety that comes from lack of that understanding. A must-have!
 Very Eye Opening December 24, 2008
I was introduced to this book at a Weekend to Remember conference. It sounded very interesting so I figured that I would purchase this one for me and the For Men Only book for my husband. I'm still in the process of reading it but I have to say that from what I read already, I am starting to see how the things that I say can be misinterpreted by my husband. So this book has caused me to really think about what I say and how I react to that communication between my husband and myself can be better. I would recommend this book to every couple that really wants to make their communication better and in the end connect more as a couple and have the type of marriage that God intended us to achieve.
Not just for husbands, but fathers, brothers, etc. November 22, 2008
This is a must-have book for any woman who wants to better understand the men in her life (and what woman doesn't??). Although its focus is on marriage, the ideas apply to not just husbands, but fathers, brothers, etc. (And I'm quite sure what I learned from this book came into play when I wrote Last Chance Rescue, which has a male lead character.) I didn't feel it was advocating a "subservient" role to the wife. And I'm pretty touchy about that kind of thing! - Tracey Cramer-Kelly, author, Last Chance Rescue
If you haven't read this, you're missing out in a big way! November 11, 2008

The 4:8 Principle: The Secret to a Joy-Filled Life
After coaching hundreds of couples, I can tell you that For Women Only stands out as a book that can be a real "game-changer" in marriage. For decades it has been virutally impossible to find relationship literature that truly equipped women to be stronger wives. This book accomplishes that. The vast majority of relationship-oriented self-help books seemed to share the goal of molding men into women as a prerequisite for experiencing a successful marriage. This approach sold a lot of books, primarily to women, but didn't work so well for marriages overall.
In For Women Only, author Shaunti Feldhahn shares the truth about how most men process their world. I can verify this personally and by confirmation of my male clients who aggressively bought this book for their wives when it was released, understanding that the author had articulated precisely what they hoped their wife would know, but didn't quite grasp how to deliver the information to her.
What a perfect solution!
A woman completes the research and then writes a book for women to help them understand and consequently respond in wiser, more thoughtful ways to their husbands (and sons).
I also recommend the companion book, For Men Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Womenand Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs
If you want to maximize the potential of your marriage, these three books are a must!
