Understanding Gender Differences by cjevitex(m): 9:17am On Feb 13, 2016
I brought another discussion that's of importance to our various
life's, it's something we all have to deal with weather your
married or planning to. it is also applicable in Relationships.

Gender and Relationships: Male-Female
Differences in Love and Marriage

One of the most important journeys in human life is the quest
for a satisfying, enduring love relationship. This search is nearly
universal, and a lasting love is the goal of most people in most
societies. This search has an unparalleled power and immerses
us in many of the strongest emotions we will experience in our
entire lives.
This often humorous, often poignant, and always profound topic
explores the differences in the ways that men and women
experience the love relationship. It goes beyond mere analysis
and examines ways to make a relationship work better for both
men and women. Some potential problems reflect important
gender differences and needs, while others involve gendered
expectations about the love relationship itself.

Our search for love relationships is also influenced by deep-
seated ideas about how women and men "should" behave in
courtship, love, and marriage. The topic also explores how
women and men detect "attraction
signals." These are subtle, fleeting, critical nonverbal cues that
can lead to a relationship -- but only if they are detected and
accurately interpreted.
Verbal communication is also examined,
especially the presumed goals of conversation.

From this point I would like you all to share your views on the
following questions, "What do women want?"
and "What do men want? both in Relationships and marriage.
How do men and
women talk, act, and feel differently, and why do they seem to
talk past one another? Do men and women communicate
differently? Is it possible that
the way men and women communicate can actually cause
difficulty in understanding one another? The answer to both
questions is yes.

Many books have been written on the subject of gender
differences in marriage, including one of the more popular ones
“Men are From Mars. Women are From Venus.” These books
usually deal with the black and white differences among the
genders, but rarely deal with the nuances that exist that have
little to do with gender differences.

Men are more logical. Women are more emotional.

As a result, the man is talking facts, while the woman is talking
emotions. The two cannot understand each other because
they’re basically talking apples and oranges. The key is to deal
with both the facts and the emotions. Start with one and move
on to the next so that both spouses and issues are being given
fair time.

Men need less cuddling and communication.

Again, this may not be true across the board, but it seems to be
true about most men. Women seem to need more emotional
support in the form of cuddling and communication. This needs
to be discussed with your spouse so that he knows how you feel and why and can help fulfill those needs.

Men are more independent and need more space.

Sometimes men go off to their “caves” to think and work things
out, while women want to talk and bounce ideas off of their
spouses. This can become a problem if the woman starts
nagging the husband to talk and share, when all he wants to do
is spend a little time alone thinking first. Learn to read signs,
personalities, and gender differences so you don’t get
disappointed when he doesn’t react like you wish.

Gender differences don’t have to pose a problem. On the
contrary, they can add spice and excitement to a thriving and
growing relationship! let me take your comments from here as
well as the answers to the questions raised.
