Dr. John Gray Interview

Lasting Love Connection Podcast

My first read of, “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” didn’t leave me excited about interviewing Dr. John Gray.

So, I waited.

I read more.

The book struck me as having interesting points, yet I found it to be incredibly polarizing. Men are from Mars, Women are Venus. Are we really so different? In my experience has always been no.

Men and women have some basic differences, like our anatomy. Yet, in so many ways we are also the same. We all want to be heard, connect, love and be loved. When we are upset we don’t function differently because of our gender, we function differently because of our history and our personal differences—differences that are gender based.

I sat with these thoughts for a while, then decided to reach to Dr. John Gray, and see if he could teach and convince me otherwise.

Immediately into our interview Dr. John Gray began to explain how men and women are very different. Women can make babies- men can’t. Men have many more times the testostorone that a woman does. Oxytocin lowers stress in women, not for men, but it does lower testosterone for men. This all impacts our motivations. These differences impact us in major ways.

Dr. John had amazing points, and I wanted to learn more.

Our conversation continued and we discussed how men can serve women. And more importantly for the listeners, how have the needs of modern men and women changed. How can modern man and modern women be better partners? How have the significant changes of our time impacted couples?

If you want to learn, hit play, and while you’re listening— let me know, what you think: “Are men and women significantly different?”
