Sadly, in marriage, man and woman invariably settle back to their natural state--woman loves to talk, man sometimes prefers the state of silence.
Women love to connect by talking, men are not as inclined to express what they feel inside. It's the way man and woman are constituted psychologically, according to Dr. John Gray.
Understanding our inner differences will enable the man to understand that when a woman says, "I didn't marry to talk to a wall," she really means she needs a hug and a token of appreciation for her long day; and the woman to understand that when a man seems withdrawn and without a word, he is saying "I am here for you, I am just processing some thoughts and even emotions inside which I don't really want you to worry about."
Real conversation between a couple is appreciating the woman's feelings behind her words, and the man's thoughts behind his silence.
I could not help but think about my parents in your accurate synopsis, Mr. Benne.
My father is a very quiet and reticent man. Mom doesn't talk much, but when she does she does so with dad. From my observation tho, though my father does not speak much, he likes it when we all talk, very content sija to have us all back in the house.
I agree, men tend to be more silent, thinking. Observant. Analyzing.
