Mars vs Venus

He has a different point of view. Or looked at from another way, she has a different point of view.

It arose because another man and another woman had different points of view from each other.

So many points of view. Which one would you go along with?

In the wise words of my elder, almost 7 year old young son, "Women are more fierce. But men are more powerful!". Then, in almost the same breath, he added, "And the One who made us and the world is a Him!".

Hmm... maybe I should go ask a "she"/"her", for a different opinion?

So, should the good wife submit to her husband? Or should the good husband "defer" to his wife? ("Defer" happens to be my husband's choice of words, which in this wife's opinion, isn't a very good one).

*Sigh* Do we need all these differences to spice up relationships?

Of course, the good thing about "Two are better than one" is that depending on the situation, sometimes the husband is the magnanimous one, while other times the wife's magnanimity wins the day. And that's just really what we all need, no?

God created both man and woman different to complement each other, yah! ...though I wish sometimes we are not that different. Men can be so hard to understand sometimes. sigh!

Yes, marriage is a lot of give and take. The more you give, there will be more peace in the home. Just dont set your expectations too high. I find that after a good number of years of married life, you reach a plateau. All these differences seem immaterial, and you sort of settle into a comfortable existence.

Bkworm,
Haha... men say the same things about us women, too!

SAHM.
You're right. Simplifying, for isn't that what going back to basics is all about?... i.e. not overanalyzing -- that's how it should be, but quite often easier said than done.

And I think some of us womenfolk (including me) sometimes think a little too 'deep' for our/my own good... hehe!

Judy,
Me too... submit can be hard when our opinions are completely different, which happens a lot simply because opposites attract!
