Men and Women

A wife was very busy preparing dinner, she asked her husband to go to the store for her: "Please honey, go get a gallon of milk and if they have fresh eggs, get 6, thank you so much" A short time later the husband returned with 6 gallons of milk. "Why did you get so much milk"' asked the wife. The husband said,: "Because they had fresh eggs".

Men and women are different. One is from Mars and the other is from Venus, I think. No actually we do think, process information, and react differently.
Men categorize, we put things into different compartments. Ladies, the next time you ask your husband what he is thinking and he responses: "Nothing",that is more then likely the truth, we have a category reserved for nothing. I know every time there was something wrong with my wife and she would call me upset about something, the first thing I would do is try to solve the problem. One time she got her purse snatched and she felt really scared, violated, and angry. The first thing I wanted to do was to hunt the guy down and pound his head. My wife, though, just needed me to listen, hold her and reassure her that everything was going to be OK> My grown daughter is the same way. She is a school teacher (high school algebra 2) and calls me almost everyday as she leaves school. She tells me how the day went, who was her problem classes, and basically how the day went. She doesn't want me to do anything, just listen. But when my son calls me we talk about sports, our jobs, if he can borrow my truck to help a friend move you know "Guy stuff."
I have always been very organized. At work, I take things in, and decide what is most important, what needs to be done, and what can wait. This is one of my strongest strengths, I believe. I enjoy working independently of others. Just give me a job to do, leave me alone and I will do it. My ex-wife is also very good at these things, she is very organized and is

very good at regulating her staff at work, and gets the job done. But at home, she always wanted to "talk" about her day, what went wrong, and what went right, and her "feelings" about everything. We men, don't care so much about our feelings. We have a "feelings compartment" but don't go there very much. When the day is over, we shift into "drive home' mode and then, "time at home, watching the game or whatever" mode.
Can you imagine if Men and Women were alike in this regard? If we were all like women , then we would talk about our feelings, way to much and never get anything else done, and if we were all like men, then nothing would get done after work, because we would all be in the "we are at home mode".
God made us to compliment each other. To a man, everything is about "Logic". If there is a problem the Logic says take care of it. To a woman, you talk about it, about how it made you feel, about how your life is going to change because of it..............OK, which way is better? To me, because I am a man, Logic wins everytime. . But to women, we make no sense, I mean if you can't share your feelings, then what good are you?
What does all this mean? It means that God knew what He was doing when He made us. He knew how important looking at things Logically (yes, Mr. Spock and Data were right) was, AND that we needed to understand "WHY" we felt like we did, acted like we did, and did what we did.
When I was in college I took a course in "Sociology". Best course I ever took in my 3 semesters. Studying people, and how they react in different social circumstances, is amazing. We went to the airport in Dallas, just to observe people. I still do that once in a while. My favorite is going to the Mall, and just watching people (if you can still find a mall!). What have I found? Easy, the women will be inside the store, and the men will be sitting somewhere waiting for them. The women are much more social, they love normally, to talk to each other and show that they care about each other. Men, have to have a topic, sports, beer, cars, something.
So ladies, give your husband a break, the next time he says he is doing "nothing" he usually is. And husbands take a little time to listen, talk, and just care for what your wife is talking about. You wouldn't believe what good this will do for each other. Take it from a man who was married for 24 years, and now been divorced for 6 (I forgot how to listen).
Thank you Lord for making us like we are, and thank you for complementing each other. It makes life much more interesting, but that is good,.
