I hope you guys enjoyed last week’s article.
This week as promised, we are jumping into an introduction of how the male and female brains work within a marriage relationship.
Now husbands, one thing that we have to understand is that our wives are emotionally driven and wives, your husbands are physically driven.
There is a video that touches on this and it is actually pretty funny.
The title of this video is called a “Tale of Two Brains” by Mark Gungor. Mark goes into comedic detail as to how the male and female brains work, which gave me the idea for this article.
We will start with the husband’s brain first.
As Mark so eloquently put it in his video, we men have a brain full of boxes and we have a box for everything including our jobs, the kids, our parents…etc.
The key to these boxes is that they don’t touch. In other words, we know how to compartmentalize very well.
Wives, have you ever asked your husband how his day went and he gave you a quick short answer without any details at all?
That’s because after his day ended, he stuck it in a box and pushed it way back in the corner of his brain.
There is a portion of Mark’s video where he jokes about the husbands having a nothing box. This is where we go when we think about absolutely nothing.
Yep, it’s possible! Mark goes on to talk about what might happen if our wives found out about our nothing box. I would tell you more, but I will just encourage you to watch the video on YouTube.
The wives are a little different. Instead of boxes that do not touch, our wives’ brains are wired to the point where everything is connected.
Picture a wire going from one point to another endlessly being connected to every new situation and old memory that ever existed.
This represents how women are hardwired to be emotionally driven. It’s a lot more complicated than our box system husbands!
Again, I’m just chipping away at the surface to give an introduction, but the video explains it more in detail.
So, why do men and women’s brains work differently? It’s simple when you think about it.
They were designed opposite of each other to ensure a selfless relationship.
The husbands have to cater to their wives by being more understanding and meeting her emotional needs.
Wives, you have to cater to your husbands by being more understanding and meeting his physical needs. As Mark puts it, be nice to the girl and she will let you go to the happy place.
It will all make more sense when you watch the video. May God bless you and your marriages!
