Have you ever heard of the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" by John Gray? I seriously recommend you get a copy, and READ it! I wish I had read it in my 20s (I am 48). I honestly had NO IDEA before I read that book that men and women really do THINK differently! It explains so much that we really need to know at the BEGINNING of our experience with relationships about how to talk to each other, and how NOT to talk to each other!
We truly are from different planets when it comes to communication, and again, I wish I had understood these basic differences many years ago! It would have saved me considerable heartache!
