We all know about the usual miscommunications that happens between a man and a woman; situations where one doesn't seem to understand the other. They show up sooner or later during a relationship, and if not addressed, may cause unnecessary fights or even break-up.
Why this happens, after all? I stumbled across an article that explains it in a simple way. To quote it:
The seemingly senseless misunderstandings that haunt our relationships can in part be explained by the different conversational rules by which men and women play.
Learning about the different though equally valid conversational frequencies men and women are tuned to can help banish the blame and help us truly talk to one another.
I thought it would be useful to post it here, as we have many married and three soon-to-be-married shmuppers, but this should be a good read to anyone in a relationship in general:
IMHO The biggest reason men and women have miscommunication is because of the notion that they might be completely different. Just reflect on yourself first!
I'll try and check out that link later, but I totally agree w/ your synopsis. My wife-to-be and I got some video's from my sister of this series called "Love and Respect" which shares that truism that men and women are truly on different wavelengths in communication.
It also talks about how men mainly thrive on respect, whereas women mainly thrive on love and how both the husband and wife need to fulfill one another in this way.
It talks about this destructive cycle where:
He doesn't show love -> She doesn't show respect -> [Repeat]
