Ade was a thoughtful husband. He wanted to give his wife something special for her birthday which was coming up soon. As he sat on the edge of the bed, he watched his wife turning back and forth and looking at herself in the mirror. Toun, he said, What would you like for your birthday? His wife continued to look at herself and said, Id like to be 10 again. Ade knew just what to do. On the big day, he got up early and served his wife a bowl of icecream. Then he took her to an amusement park where they rode all the rides. Five hours later, Touns stomach felt upside down and her head was reeling. Never the less, Ade took her to KFC and bought her extra chips and a cone icecream. Next, he took her to the cinema to watch a movie, a large cup of coke and popcorn to go with it. As Toun dragged herself into the house that evening and collapsed on the bed, Ade asked her, Well Dear, did you enjoy your birthday and what was it like to be 10 again? She looked up at him. Her expression changed. She said, I meant my dress size! Talk about different wavelengths here. (You can imagine the look on Ades face) . How was he meant to ever decode that. Heres something to think about: 1. Men and women are from different planets - am sure you have heard that by now. 2. A mans definition of marriage is different from what a woman understands it to be. 3. A man’s self esteem is defined through his accomplishments. (Translation: men see what they do for a living as important and love to them is in the doing rather than the saying) while a woman’s self esteem is defined through her feelings and the quality of her relationships. (Translation: A womans emotions are a large part of who she is - why she probably wants to hear the I love us more) 4. Men experience their emotions one at a time. (Translation: What emotions?) Women experience emotions simultaneously. They might feel anger, remorse and forgiveness at the same time. (Translation: I feel, so therefore I am) 5. Men tend to handle one thing at a time until each is done. (Translation: Isnt that how things get done?). Women have the ability to multi-task. (Translation: Isnt that how things get done faster?) 6.Men don’t notice small changes without help. (Translation: When did you change your hair color?). Women can often read small changes in a person’s behavior, and even talk about it with them and other women. (Translation: Did you notice what she didnt say?) So if your husband or wife is not acting the way you expect them to, you need to understand that God has created us differently for a reason. If they love you enough and they choose to change for your sake - FANTASTIC. Change is best coming from the person himself/herself rather than from a constant push from the spouse - otherwise this may be viewed as being manipulative or controlling. Love them the way they are and if it bothers you so much, please marry someone else.
