Every year, Mike and I have a conversation about what we want and need in our relationship. In the beginning, we would put it in writing and then discuss our feelings about what was important to us. As the years have gone by, this very needed conversation has become shorter and shorter because we are together 24/7 and we are always communicating. With being together that much, our tempers run short and the communication comes out more as demands and less as requests. This is not good so we recently talked about what we needed and I decided to listen to the book ‘Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus’ written by John Gray.
I've read this book several times and it's truly amazing and an easy read. However, it was refreshing to revisit this helpful guide again, as a reminder of how important good communication is and needed as we embark on our new year, new life and a new adventure. I want to be the very best person that I can for Mike, without losing myself. I know that Mike wants the same for me and our relationship. This book dives into the different needs that men and women have and reminded me of why we bicker over the small stuff. It's because we're not receiving what we need on a primal level. This book shares vital information about the opposite sex and also about my own needs. I have always, always been the woman that says to a man, “If you can do it, then I can do it.”, which is great if you're single, and I was for so long. But in a relationship, especial one which a strong man like Mike, I have to let him be the man he needs and wants to be for me. While listening to the book, I am reminded how I think, act and relate to others. I am also reminded about how my actions affect those around me. The book goes into detail about how men and women perceive things, the way they listen, act and react. It goes into depth about the language barrier between the sexes and how to bridge it. I now know that when I say one thing and mean it a certain way, a man might not take it in such a manner. John Gray explains ways to communicate better and to how come to a happy medium for a happy relationship.
