Why does a woman talk to connect with their husband or boyfriend and does not want him to fix the issue? How to Connect With Your Wife or Girlfriend When She Is Sharing Her Feelings

Purpose of this class: Help men understand why women sometimes want to talk about their feelings, experiences, frustrations, and problems without necessarily wanting advice or solutions. Help women understand how to communicate their needs so their husbands or boyfriends can respond with love, patience, and understanding. Introduction One of the most common misunderstandings between men and women happens when a woman begins talking about something that is bothering her and the man immediately starts trying to fix it. He believes he is helping. She may feel that he isn't listening. He becomes frustrated because his solutions aren't being received, and she becomes frustrated because she doesn't feel emotionally connected to him. Neither person necessarily has bad intentions. They may simply have different expectations about what a conversation is supposed to accomplish. This class explores why emotional connection, listening, understanding, communication, and companionship are important in a relationship. We will also discuss how childhood experiences, psychological development, Christian principles, physical wellness, and stress can influence the way people communicate.
