Differences in Male and Female

Men have more grey matter in their brains. This is more of a storage, whereas women has more white matter, which is the connective tissue. This causes an issue of disconnect within the relationship.

Women usually taking what is said with the tone of how it is said, and men usually just take what is said regardless of the tone. When you are married, and have a family you need to make important decisions together. Often times you will have a conversation about the decision, but sometimes one person chooses or has the final say, there is compromise and you often default and refer to your parents. That makes it not your family's (husband and wife, etc) decision. There are a few things that we talked about in class, that make a conversation or communication about a family decision run smoother. 1) Start with a prayer: it is important to start a meeting with a prayer because it helps bring the spirit into the conversation. 2) Meet in a sacred place: this sacred place can be your bedroom or...
