Relationship Tips
Today I had the pleasure of meeting Joe that is engaged and looking forward to married life. We were having a great discussion about relationships. We discussed the difference between men and women since I saw that all too familiar glazed look in his eyes as I was giving him more information than he needed or wanted. I told him that was a common need in women to explain themselves by giving all the details along with the vital bits of info. These details are an important piece of our sharing and communicating as women. In order to fully feel that we are understood, we must explain exactly what happened, play by play. He laughed and relaxed with me after my long winded explanation. I further explained that as women, we often confuse men by letting them think that we have a problem we want them to solve when we are upset. Wrong. We want to be heard. There is something magical about telling you what happened. You are the safety net and we can vent all that happened on the day to you…you only. Your listening will actually gain you points as well as help us to sort it all out. Sometimes when we are upset, you may think we are upset with you. Girls this is where you can help your guys out. Start out by telling them that there is no problem for them to solve. Then tell them you are not upset with them. On the contrary. Tell them that you need them to just let them vent. This will be a great stress reducer for both of you. Try it and keep trying it. Believe in your power of love. I know I do.
