“You see, my family draws names for Christmas gifts, and my wish list always includes tools, I just like to fix things, but nobody ever gives me any! The year I didn't get the needle-nose pliers I requested, I happened to mention to my husband, Mark, that it bothered me that my family didn't take me seriously.
“When December arrived and we were short on cash, Mark and I decided not to give each other any gifts. Celebrating Christmas with Mark’s family, I found a tiny wrapped gift from my husband under the tree. His family simply didn't understand why a pair of pliers would bring tears of happiness to my eyes!”
Be aware of the differences in men’s and women’s styles of communicating, but don’t over-emphasize them. If you focus on the gap, you’ll overlook the bridges!
Bridge #1: The fact that underneath all our differences in style, men and women all want the same things: to be loved, cared for, respected, and appreciated; to have a place of safety and security where we can be ourselves, grow, experiment, and mature.
Bridge #2: Romance itself. Romance is a bridge between the sexes, as it is the expression of love. Romance is a language that uses words, gestures, and tokens to communicate the subtle, multifaceted, and complicated feelings of love.
Finally, and to wrap up these latest post, George Carlin says:
“Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.”
