Does He Have a Clue?
Author: MInTheGap
Men like to think they know everything. That’s part of the reason (I’m sure) why they don’t stop for directions, they don’t read the instructions, and what makes it more irritating is that they will seldom admit to their lack of knowledge on a particular subject:
"It would take too long to explain." Really means….
"I have no idea how it works."
I’m sure all of your heads are nodding in agreement.

How many girls out there don’t like a good romance movie? You know your favorites, too: the one where the guy chases the girl, the guy gets the girl, the guy does something stupid, the girl runs, the guy chases her and proposes or does this super duper over-the-top romantic gesture that wins the girl back. These are the movies that you either go to with your girlfriends or drag your husbands along, promising to watch the next action flick with them.
We sigh when the handsome and dashing hero of the movie saves the girl or wins the girl, and we leave the theater in a complete romantic mood.
Comparing marriages
Author: Lois Lane II
“Why can’t we be that spontaneous?”
“How come his wife looks at him like that?”
“Why doesn’t my husband say such sweet things to me?”
“Why can’t we be more like them?”
Do you sometimes fall into the mode of “if only our marriage were like that” line of thought? Do you look at your friends’ marriages and wonder, “Why aren’t we like that?”
Stop. Now.
Why you should listen to that still, small voice

Hubby and I got into an argument the other day over…um…well, I just can’t remember right now, but I’m SURE it was important. Aren’t all arguments super important?
Ha!
Are you as amazed at I am over the silly things you and your spouse argue about? My personal favorites are the REALLY small things, like what to eat for dinner, which turn into full-blown arguments that last the entire evening.
How in the world does this happen?
She Just Doesn’t Understand Me
Author: MInTheGap
A lot of times when men say “She doesn’t understand me” it’s an excuse because they haven’t tried hard enough, but sometimes it’s because she’s just gotten to the point where she knows all your stories:
"My wife doesn’t understand me." Really means….
"She’s heard all my stories before, and is tired of them."
Men have trouble with communication. It’s not that they have trouble talking—it’s usually that they have trouble listening, and most people—and men are included here—have a face they were in public and in private. Unfortunately, after time has passed men will spend more time with the public face on to everyone else and the private face with his family. The private, exhausted face is not a pretty sight.
