Men & Women...are they wired different?

I can't remember the title, but I think I read that book too. Something about love language? I remember I agree with it. I have it here somewhere in a box (I just moved) or I'd get it out.

Take your time...I'm patient and I forget too! lol

hi Debra! i browse some pages of the book: Men are from mars, Women are from Venus. i read the primary needs but i forgot again! ha ha ha. but i can remember some.The primary love needs of Women are: Understanding,Reassurance... Ugh! i forgot already!! While, the primary love needs of men are: Trust, Acceptance, Admiration,and i forgot again! he he he he I think there are five primary love needs of each gender. I'm very sorry, i will take down notes next time.Take Care always.God Bless! - jyjy -

So, you think there's nothing to this theory that men are from mars and women from venus..lol. Don't hormones shape our brains?

Hormones are included in the plumbing issue, as part of the reproductive function. Pretty much everything else is really acculturation.

lol...I love you my friend, but I disagree. I had four sons. I was a 'progressive' type mom...made sure they had access to pots and pans and tea parties as well as trucks and cars and bats and balls....and they definately like the rock 'em sock 'em play much better. My daughter on the other hand....could play with both equally. But her personality wasn't rock 'em sock 'em...but more as a peace keeper and nurturer amongst her rowdy brothers. I taught kindergarten age children for four years..and the boys always without exception were more the thinkers & doers and the girls were more the feelers and explainers. lol Of course there is always the exception to the rule. Or one who has qualities of both. That is what is amazing about humans...diversity!

I haven't read it yet. But then I have a 3 year backlogged reading list.... That's right, old people don't get hormonal, they just get cranky. lol

Have you read the Men Are From Mars/Women From Venus book? It comes the closest to making it understandable as any I've read on the subject. I guess it's all hormonally related...even in the womb the mother's and child's hormones interact to influence the brain of the developing baby. If they're not in sync....the child's mind may feel female in a male body...or visa versa once they're out here interacting with the rest of us. Powerful things...hormones. Which brings to mind your Letter to my Uterus discussion...lol. I thought once I read it... that older people who are no longer made irrational by estrogen and testosterone overloads...should be listened to more closely as they were in times past. There was a reason they were considered wise. They can THINK rationally for a change!

Probably cause they see all those hormonal people running around doing what hormonal people do...and they see how silly it all is.

Absolutely! Genesis 2:24 (New International Version) 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Two halves of a whole is how I look at it. ;) That is the basis of 'the two shall become one' and other wedding oaths, isn't it. The sad thing is, in this day and age we are trying to get through our lives as separate entities, instead of recognizing this.

I have read and heard of it described as learning a new language. Communication is the bedrock of every relationship....and this being one of the most important relationships we ever have...with our spouse...it would be great to have everyone learning the other's language...wouldn't you say so?
