Crash Course for a New Start

Unless you have been living on the erstwhile far flung planet, Pluto, you must have at least come across John Gray’s book, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. There are some who actually find themselves rolling their eyes and muttering, “How true!” every time they read it. Others, however, are not amused. For them, this book simply reinforces the very gender stereotypes that women have been fighting against for years.

But for good or for bad, this literary work has managed to generate a lot of interest. And as with most books these days, this one also comes with an accompanying website. This is the world where everything will be discussed in terms of Mars and Venus, so if you are into exploring more, MarsVenus is the place to be.

MarsVenus basically explores the differences between men and women especially when it comes to marriage: what is the inherent difference between the way men and women perceive marriage, what each spouse wants out from another and most importantly, how easily misunderstandings occur due to lack of awareness of these differences.

Whether you are here because you are tired of perpetual misunderstandings in your own relationship, or simply to increase your knowledge before you tie the knot, this site offers something to everyone. For starters, you can try some of the relationship quizzes available here. They would give you a relatively accurate insight into your perceptions about certain matters and what mistaken notions you hold about the opposite sex. The results will not just reveal the bare facts, but will also impart some useful advice if you are facing problems.

Another very useful section on this website is a collection of articles on various aspects of a relationship. There are descriptive articles which delve deep into a phenomenon along with how-to articles, which give a step-by-step guideline on dealing with crucial matters. For instance, one article gives useful advice to those wives whose list of ‘to-do things’ is never-ending.

And if the site seems too serious to handle, you can take a break by surfing the section of ‘Gender humour.’ This section features a cartoon and a joke on, what else… relationships theme. And trust me, it is guaranteed to make you laugh. You can also subscribe to the newsletter to keep yourself updated with the activities on the website.

However, not everything on this website is absolutely free. To access the full features of this website, one has to acquire a paid membership. Some of the articles, too, are in the premium section, which is quite a disappointment. But this is no reason why you cannot avail the free services, and read up on whatever you find relevant and useful.

If you have read the book, then some things might feel repetitive. But overall, this website is worth exploring in detail. And if you are into looking at some questions that the coaches here are asked, you can log onto http://www.askmarsvenus.com/ and browse through those which are for general viewing.
