In the early years of my marriage when I would get upset, by husband would listen, then say are you done? I would just look at him and then walk away. After a couple of times I realized he didn’t want to get into an argument. He would let me rant, then we would have a conversation. Yes, I think we all communicate in our own way, my husband “ talked” more with his actions like sending flowers to me at work “just because “.
Oh my gosh, LOL!!!! Love that you two are and have always been in love.....That's "Good to know"!! Would seem there are many people in this world that really never have that true everlasting love in their life time. And laughter is a must, at each other and at yourself, XO
Yes men and women have different ways of communicating. After 61 years married to the same guy we are different and alike. We just assume what the other wants. It works , don't try to fix it another way.
We've shared some pretty funny conversations about our communication with our husbands. I could write a book! But we're blessed to have them and they give us fodder for our blogs. 😂
I have always thought you were a perfect couple. I guess you really are because as different as you are you have a great love for one another. Differences sometimes make women disgusted with their husbands and they allow it to be a big problem in their marriage. I often hear my friends say I really wish my husband would do this… or since we are old my husband has not hugged me for a week. They are unhappy. God Bless both of you. You made it work!
This story cracked me up!! YES yes, yes…men and women hear things differently and they respond differently to the way they think they hear them. And I think men are bigger gossipers than women. My ex husband always use the word fine with anything I asked him. Ugh! But that is not why I am no longer with him. L O L. Thanks for bringing back some memories I had forgotten about. And again, it’s OK. Blessings my friend.
In my case, Cesar and I are different but we have the same goals, so we have a good time. Neither of us tries to change the other and we accept each other as we are. Now, I have to admit that he is a saint. 😇
Thank you. Such a great reminder. Yes, we do communicate differently, without a doubt.
Having this is helpful. Although I do get very frustrated when my hubby is asking me about people and their troubles etc, I get angry knowing he is simply collecting data and it isn't about what can he do to help. Aaargh. That one really gets me. Or after he has spent time with friends or family in person or on the phone I ask, "How are they?" because I care and he answers quite honestly..."I don't know."
Guys (many of them) are sooo different.
Knowing that Men often talk to convey or gather information and Women talk sometimes to feel better, to think out loud, or to create intimacy can really help
Yes we are very different, when I start ranting about anything my husband would say are you done 😂 he don’t like to argue . It will be 44 years for and thriving.
DO YOU BELIEVE MEN AND WOMEN COMMUNICATE DIFFERENTLY? Not having too much experience and never married, I would say yes. We're all different. Even woman to woman, it is different I believe. Thanks Jan.

Generally speaking yes and then when you add a different culture in there it really gets confusing.
