His Brain, Her Brain: How Divinely
Designed Differences Can Strengthen
Your Marriage by Walt and Barb
Larimore
Must Read
Men and women really are different—even their brains are
different—and they were divinely designed that way. Using the latest
research, Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore show how the God-designed
differences between the male brain and the female brain complement each
other to help couples build a delightful, lasting marriage.
Personal Review: His Brain, Her Brain: How Divinely Designed
Differences Can Strengthen Your Marriage by Walt and Barb
Larimore
I love this book so much! As I was reading it I shared all the valuable
knowledge I was learning with my husband, my mother and my sister. I
never thought a book with scientific knowledge could be so interesting, but
it really had me engaged! I found Walt's and Barb's observations on 'his'
and 'her' brains to be so true! I laughed at some of the examples they gave
as I found them to be true in my marriage too!
Not only that, but the book is so well organised and presented. I love the
cover design and interior design of the book with its little light bulb
graphics. I also love their use of diagrams and tables (a particularly funny
diagram on page 42-43 demonstrates the differences between a man's
and woman's brain). The book has a Scripture index, Subject index and
Sources page - which made me love it even more...
But perhaps what I loved the most was the insights it contained inside the
pages such as:
* Both science and the bible support the idea that men and women are so
different.
* At 6 weeks in the womb an unborn male's brain surges with testosterone.
When this process was blocked in rats - they acted like females their entire
life.
* The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of body and
focuses on logic, reason and speech whereas the right hemisphere
controls left side of body and is the creative side of the brain.
* Testosterone is responsible for aggression and assertiveness in males.
Competition can raise the level of testosterone.
* Oxytocin, often called the cuddle or bonding hormone, is released when
couples cuddle.
* Women tend to have higher oxytocin levels than men.
* When a mother looks into the eyes of her baby, her oxytocin levels soar
much higher than a man's, and this rush is extremely pleasurable to her.
* Women can see more colours than men.
* Women feel more pain and have less tolerance to it than men.
* A women's sense of smell and taste are stronger than a man's.
* Only 10 percent of women have spatial abilities that are as good as the
average male (such as the ability to read maps).
* Researchers studied men and women who were "truly, deeply in love"
with each other. They scanned their brains when looking at pictures of their
loved one and of other strangers. Their brains lit up in the same areas that
cause the euphoria of narcotic addictions when they saw their partner's
pictures.
* Women who are childless or lose a child have levels of depression
comparable to those with AIDs and Cancer.
And many more interesting facts inside!
I highly recommend this book. You will begin to understand your partner on
a whole new level. You will realise that many of your complaints such as
your husband not listening, your wife nagging you for a cuddle... have
perfectly biological explanations! Well done Walt and Barb Larimore.
