Men and Women

Theres a myth that men are less emotional than women.⁣In general, men are just as emotional as women⁣. The real differences are the following:⁣

⁣

1. Men are less emotionally 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦. They feel but dont talk about it.⁣ 2. Men are less 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 of their emotions. They exist but they dont know.⁣ 3. Men dont 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 emotions as much as women. When making decisions, men favor the practical aspects over the emotional aspects of the decision.⁣

⁣

Why is this relevant? ⁣For one, this misunderstanding is at the root of the most common marital issues.⁣ For example: "My wife is too emotional" or "My husband doesn't care".⁣

⁣

Why is the wife "too emotional" and the husband "not caring"?Sometimes, when the wife feels uncared for, unloved, alone, unappreciated, or unheard by her husband (all of these are emotions) her response to that emotion is to.....respond emotionally. ⁣That expression of her emotions is foreign to her husband, he just feels attacked, trapped, judged, inadequate, alone, rejected... (also emotions) he responds with.......putting up walls. ⁣

⁣

If the husband and wife both believe that the man doesn't feel, they are at an impasse.⁣ However, the truth is that the clash is only at the level of 𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 with emotions, not the emotions themselves.⁣ Beneath the conflict both are actually feeling something that the other can understand and relate to, just not the way it is expressed.⁣

⁣

If they both understand that beneath the surface, they both feel the same thing and want the same thing; a loving, understanding relationship, then they can learn to speak each other's language.
