You assume they get mail out of theirs as well, right? Well how can you really be sure? Men and women need to stop thinking that what works for men also works for women, and vice versa. Men and women don't always see things the same way. Believe it or not, we are wired differently. Taking the time to figure out how the other operates will save you a ton of stress in the long run. For example, if a guy has a problem, the problem is the problem. If a woman has a problem, the problem is likely how the problem makes her feel. Addressing one the wrong way will probably lead to an argument. Even applying gender-based generalizations to everyone of that gender can lead to problems. Pay attention to the individual and learn how they operate. It may be difficult, but it's definitely worth it in the long run. Post Reply

Tulip89 View Profile History	Mailboxes Posted : 12 Sep, 2010 10:23 PM "Don't Waste Your Life" is good. I'm just not much of a reader, so it's hard to read even a short book. I wouldn't even be trying if I didn't think it had an eternal value. I suffered a moderate head trauma back in high school, and I am suspicious of its affects on my concentration and short term memory. Solid Christian books are worth the struggle though. Post Reply

I've had several concussions, but I don't think it's affected me in the long term... I guess the real test will be when I start back to school in a week. Post Reply
