The thing is, men don’t do things for nothing. For some purpose only. And if the benefit is vague or absent, then they do not hear the requests addressed to them. They don’t pretend. They don’t bully. They don’t want to show anything. They just pass by. And if we, as women, want to communicate with men, it would be better for us to prepare for this in advance.
“How many times do I have to repeat?!”… Really, how many? And it depends on who the request is addressed to. If a woman, maybe one is enough. If a man, then you will have to repeat many times. The thing is, men don’t do things for nothing. For some purpose only. And if the benefit is vague or absent, then they do not hear the requests addressed to them. They don’t pretend. They don’t bully. They don’t want to show anything. They just pass by. And if we, as women, want to communicate with men, it would be better for us to prepare for this in advance. This is what pastor Mark Gungor is trying to help us with. One day he started teaching seminars on marriage, because no one else was doing it, and he was convinced of the need for such work every day. His performances were a huge success. The reason is that he was based not on ideas of how it should be, but on observations of how it is, and was not afraid to see the funny side in the most serious problems. He has been married for over 40 years and has two children and five grandchildren. Many of the theses he proposes for consideration are unpleasant. They destroy the romantic view of relationships and the dream of understanding without words. In return, they increase the chances of getting what you want and save your nerves. If such an exchange seems profitable to us, the book will be of use to us. “The Bible never tells us to look for the person God has chosen for us. She teaches us to live in peace with the person we ourselves have chosen.”
