funny

My husband and I read this when we were first married and enjoyed it. It helped us understand eachother better and make some time to spend with eachother.

Great his and hers marriage book

Most helpful in understanding one another as well as actual methods to improve communication. We have now started giving this one away as a wedding gift or first anniversary gift. Also the book, His Needs Her Needs.

A Must Read for All Couples

David Clarke does an amazing job at humorously, yet informatively describing the differences between men and women in "Men are Clams, Women are Crowbars." Clarke uses an informal style that helps the reader to feel comfortable while learning about problems that he or she has in opposite sex relationships. Clarke uses rhetorical questions, metaphors, and allusions to make this self-help book fun and interesting to read. With comparisons of men and women using "I Love Lucy", male lions, and the Bible, the author produces a comical, yet practical approach to understanding men and women's differences and making them work. And in rhetorically speaking of the lion, Clarke says, "He is the leader to be admired and respected. Or is he"(59)? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to all couples, even those not married or engaged. "Men are Clams, Women are Crowbars" really helped me to understand the men in my life better.

Thsi is the ordinary person's best guide to relationships!!!

This book held my interest from beginning to end. I would recommend this to all couples who are even thinking about marriage.

This book is a must for every couple contemplating marriage!

Dr. Clarke is right on in his humorous analysis of the differences in men and women. He deals with God's perfect plan for marriage and the way we mess it up. He writes about spiritual, emotional and physical intimacy and how to achieve it. I teach pre-marriage classes and counsel couples who are planning marriage and I always recommend this book to them.
