Publisher Description

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 :)"

    " 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. "
