Interview Questions
What inspired you to write Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus?
In interviews, Gray explains the book grew from years of counseling couples and observing recurring patterns: people misread each other’s intentions, especially under stress. He wanted a simple framework to normalize differences and offer practical tools.
Why do you emphasize hormones like testosterone and estrogen in relationship advice?
Gray often says biology influences how stress is processed: men tend to rebuild testosterone through problem-solving and downtime, while women often regulate stress through connection and oxytocin-supporting behaviors. He argues understanding this can reduce conflict and guide better support.
What communication mistake do couples make most frequently?
He frequently notes that partners try to fix each other’s feelings too quickly. He recommends listening with empathy, reflecting feelings first, and asking if advice is wanted before offering solutions.
How has your advice changed in the digital age?
Gray says constant connectivity can raise stress and lower presence. He encourages intentional boundaries with devices, scheduled quality time, and daily rituals that boost connection and recovery.
What’s one practical routine you suggest for couples under stress?
He recommends short, daily check-ins: one partner speaks for a few minutes while the other listens without interrupting or fixing, then they switch. This builds safety, lowers tension, and strengthens intimacy.
