Women are from Venus…Men are from…I don’t know where…?!?!

Sometimes men expect women to act like them.  They call us complicated and make it seem like we are being unreasonable.  Don’t worry; I’ve not done anything wrong – yet.  The thing is, I’ve recently been reading a lot, about the differences between men and women and I’m just beginning to sum things out.

You see, the bottom line is this…most men are just lazy.  Forgive me but I have to say it.  There is an easy way to living with a woman, without resorting to name calling – the bible says live with your wives in knowledge. 

I love the Message Bible’s version of 1 Peter 3:7 it says “The same goes for you husbands: Be good husbands to your wives. Honor them, delight in them. As women they lack some of your advantages. But in the new life of God’s grace, you’re equals. Treat your wives, then, as equals so your prayers don’t run aground.” 

So the next time you are tempted to call your wife complicated and unreasonable…pause and ask yourself – what do I need to know about this situation?

Anyway…too much seriousness, I’m trying to lighten my own mood here. This is a list of interesting quotes and facts I pulled from all over on some of the differences between men and women.  Enjoy!

1.       “Men are motivated when they feel needed while women are motivated when they feel cherished.” John Gary

2.       “Women were created from the rib of man to be beside him, not from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled by him, but from under his arm to be protected by him, near to his heart to be loved by him.”  ― David O. McKay

3.      “A man's face is his autobiography. A woman's face is her work of fiction.”  ― Oscar Wilde

4.      Men are more interesting than women, but women are more fascinating. 

5.      “Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.” ― Albert Einstein

6.      “A wise woman puts a grain of sugar in everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her.” ― Helen Rowland

7.     The male brain contains more grey matter whereas the female brain contains more white matter. White matter basically increases the speed of transmission of all nerve signals which ultimately allows women to process thoughts more rapidly than their male counterparts.

8.     The frontal lobe (which is responsible for problem solving) and the limbic cortex of the female brain tend to be larger than in male counterparts, which appears to provide women with an advantage (over men) in problem solving and emotionality.
