Men are great at focusing on a single task and coming up with a solution. They get over anger more quickly than women do. They don’t like to discuss ‘the relationship’. Unlike women, who enjoy setting things in context, men prefer to get to the point right away.
These are not just clichés. They have a medical explanation. Brain researchers are discovering that, due to physiological differences that affect emotional , physical and hormonal responses, the brains of men and women really do function differently.
In “Why Men Never Remember and Women Never Forget” , the author Dr. Marianne Legato documents a lot of this information. She does something even more important. In entertaining and insightful examples, she shows how to use the research in day to day communication between men and women.
At a recent lecture, Dr. Legato told the story of a woman who said to her, “What am I going to do with the 50 percent of my time I’ve been spending blaming my husband?”
The field of gender specific research is a growing medical specialty. At last, solid neurological research into why men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Read Dr. Legato’s book – it could easily improve your marriage if you follow her advice.
