How Men and Women Communicate Differently!?

0

Romantic relationships often end due to miscommunication between the man and woman. It's not that either party didn't have good intentions. The problem is that they didn't adjust their communication enough, to make it more effective. But having a better understanding about how men and women communicate will help to improve your romantic relationship.

Due to socialization, male and female humans interact differently with each other. Competition is more important among males, while cooperation is more important among females. Boys on playgrounds often enjoy competitive activities such King of the Mountain or Tug-of-War. Meanwhile, socialization of girls is often based on who their best friends are, and how many "secrets" they've collected. In a sense, males' relationships with each other are "vertical," while those among females are "horizontal."

This phenomenon even impacts how men and women communicate with each other. Studies show that as males age, their face-to-face communication eventually resembles two people sitting in the driver's and passenger's seats, in the front seats of a vehicle. Meanwhile, girls often sit or stand in a circle when communicating, which allows them to form a bond with each other. Women tend to prefer this face-to-face communication.

We're all-too-familiar with the iconic scene of a husband who's just returned from work, and buries himself in the daily newspaper. His wife wants to talk to him about his day, but he'd rather enjoy the escapism that the newspaper provides. In this scenario, neither the man nor the woman is "right" or "wrong." Instead, they're exhibiting the common communication style of men and women, in a particular situation.

That brings us to the function of communication, for men and women. When men communicate, they tend to focus on the transfer of data. This includes facts, figures, and other objective information. On the other hand, a woman tends to use communication as a means of enhancing her relationship with the person she's communicating with. Some experts have described this phenomenon as the "report vs. rapport" communication styles of men and women, respectively.

This is particularly evident in the body language of women, when communicating with someone. They tend to lean forward when having a chat with a person, to indicate that they're listening intently. Also, a woman tends to provide feedback while the other person is talking, to indicate that she's listening to the speaker. She'll often use words such as "yes," "right," and so on. While men also use these mannerisms when having a conversation, it's less common. Men tend to focus on exchanging objective data, such as sports scores, instructions for performing a task, and so on.

So how can this information improve your communication with your sweetheart or spouse? By understanding how the opposite gender tends to communicate, and by using some of those methods yourself--you can prevent miscommunication and strengthen the relationship with your special someone.

What seems to be a major argument between sweethearts and spouses is often the result of miscommunication. But by learning how to communicate more effectively with the opposite gender, you can prevent such situations that could even be fatal to the relationship!

I will talk more about this on my show THE LILLY MELODY SHOW.


ARE YOU FIGHTING IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN?

0


Parents who fight in front of their children are harming the  psyche of their children unknowingly. Children are very sensitive so they get easily affected by the fighting between their parents. Read on the tips for being a good parent.

 Remember the children

Any couple will tell you that marriage is no bed of roses. It has its ups and downs like any other relationship. Fighting and making up is all part of the game. But parents often forget that they are parents when having a battle royal with their spouses. They are so intent on shouting down their spouses, making their respective points and saying hurtful things that they overlook the fact that the fight does not affect just the two of them but also their children. Children are very observant and sensitive. They are quick to pick up on tensions and undercurrents. However, they are not very good at pinpointing the cause. When they hear raised voices and slammed doors they can't help but wonder, "Is it me?"

Children's worlds revolve around their parents. Parents are their security blankets and their safety nets. They are supposed to provide their children with a constant sense of security and a confidence that their parent's love and the marriage is as unshakeable as the Rock of Gibraltar. Rumbles of discontent between parents leave children feeling insecure and unsure whether it has something to do with them.  
 

Drawing the lines of battle

So before you start screaming about your husband having lost a tidy pile on the stock market or arguing with your wife about how she doesn't show enough respect to your parents, stop and think that your children are likely to be the spellbound audience to your little family drama. And it will be disturbing rather than entertaining for them. However, this does not mean that parents do not have the right to fight or argue just because they are parents. It is just that they will have to learn to express their anger and communicate their frustration in private and in ways that do not affect their children adversely. 
 

The parent's manual to a 'good' fight

  • Put yourself in your children's shoes. Would you like to be a spectator to your fights?
  • Counting to ten is a tried and tested method of dealing with anger. Try not to argue when you're seeing red. Take time to cool off before discussing your problems.
  • Remember that when it comes to fighting between spouses, it doesn't help to fight fire with fire. Raising your voice, name-calling and door-slamming will only serve to fuel the fight. 
  • When you give yourself time to cool off and think you will often find that while you may think you're fighting about long working hours or money, it may actually just be a manifestation of the fact that you're tired, under stress or feeling neglected. Try to analyze what the real issue is.
  • Try not to focus on laying blame and trying to make your spouse grovel and see the error of his or her ways. The idea is to come to a solution not punish your spouse.
  • If you have issues to resolve with your spouse try to wait till your children are asleep or go into another room to have your argument. 
  • If you've had a massive argument in front of your children, make it a point to let them know that they are not to blame and that sometimes parents do fight, but it does not mean that they love each other or their children any less. 
  • If possible, try to explain what you were upset about in simple terms that they can understand. But try not to alarm them or speak in a manner that they feel obliged to take sides or turn hostile to your spouse. 
  • Explain to your children that losing your temper was a mistake and that you may have said many things you didn't mean just because you were angry. 
  • Make every attempt to make up with your spouse so that you can present a united, normal front to your children as soon as possible.
