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.

"I think anyone can benefit from this book because we all interact with the opposite sex. Everyone has a mother, father, sister or brother, etc. It's about learning the differences between men and women. Once you learn how the opposite sex thinks and feels it will change the way you approach them. Very useful, especially for your marriage, and it doesn't hurt that it's sooo funny because it's sooo truthful! If you have it on your to-read list, get to it, you won't regret it :)"

" this book seemed to hit the nail on the head about the differences that men and women ahve. Anyone who has ever had the "are you even listening to me?" conversation needs to read this book "
— Amy, 1/8/2014" the Farrels gave a workshop that my husband and I attended with some other coaches... I'd like to think that I am a waffle, but my beloved consistently bellows that may be one of the spaghetti prototypes!!! I do know that at times it is ridiculous to think that you can have a descent conversation with a waffle. "
— Carolyn, 1/7/2014" So...once you get married everyone and their mom decides they need to loan you Christian marriage makeover books... Good advice, but ended up breezing over most of the "devote yourself to God and your husband will love you more" bits. "
— Jamie, 11/21/2013" I LOVED this book!!! Read it, and pass it on. Every married couple should read this. "
— Brittany, 10/18/2013" Humorous insight into the different ways men and women think. "
— Carrie, 10/17/2013" Schuyler and I read this one right before we got married, it explains a lot and is hilarious!!!!! Would highly recommend for young couples just married or thinking about getting married. "
— Tara, 10/12/2013" Ugh... men are a stereotype and women are a stereotype. Pass. "
— Matt, 10/12/2013" They're the experts and I gotta hand it to them, they know their stuff! Just wish they'd made it a tad bit more entertaining! "
— Halinor, 10/3/2013" First half great second half weird. "
— Ryan, 9/7/2013" After 41 years of marriage I still learned a bunch from this book. Dumb title, but the concept is right on. It fits most of the men and women I know. Wish I'd read it 20 years ago. A few suggestions are corny, but most of it is good. So take what you can use and ignore the rest! "
— Kathy, 9/6/2013" Just started this book- i have heard some of the same comparisions before in different speeches. Men truly have an "Empty Box" and some go there more often than others! If you want to read a book that helps you understand men- this is a good one! "
— Nicole, 7/25/2013" One of the BEST books on marriage. Ever. "
— Rosalie, 7/2/2013" For me, after reading other titles on the subject; this book fell far short f my expectations... "

— Emmijo, 10/22/2012" Useless information, too many biblical and scripture references. Got no help from it at all. "

— Ben, 11/20/2011" A good one for a group study, though I've read other similar studies that I thought were better. "
— Buford, 8/11/2011" Great book for new couples or old couples. Good to read alongside other couples and discuss. "
— Greg, 7/19/2011" OK book I guess. Would work better for a couple who is into church/God/etc. Kind of like the Men are From Mars thing, but more simple. Reading this did keep me form losing my mind on my first deployment. But that isn't saying much. "
— Gina, 6/13/2011" This is a great book. The differences between men and women are explained as Waffles- Men put things in boxes. Spaghetti - Women approach everything as it's connected to each other. It's an entertaining book and has a lot of good points. Definitely recommend it! "

— Kelly, 2/3/2009" This is a pretty good book with a lot of useful advice for married couples. I do think it is best if read by both parties, which is out of the questions for my husband. Also, some things don't apply because Russian men are created differently. "
