Relationship Counseling: Men
Men and women are two different creatures. May I add, very different? While men think and react logically, women think and react emotionally. For some reason, it feels, at times, we speak two different languages. That is why communication is so important, because with communication, we come to understand these foreign languages.
Because of these major communication problems, many seek for relationship counseling with hopes of saving a doomed relationship. Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, defines communication as “the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs”. It’s very important that we grasp its true meaning because today’s statistics show that many seem to have their own interpretation which have lead to destruction.
Men have dominated over women for so long that it’s still hard for them to let go of their big sized egos that have been built through time. As young men, society plays a big role in empowering men to their own downfall. We have yet to accept the voices of our women. Instead of being attentive, men continue to remain authoritative.
Instead of serving our women as the queens that they are, we continue to have them serve us as peasants. The opinions of women have gone unnoticed and their opinions pushed to the side as shrubs. We have yet to notice, as men, that we are to elevate our women instead of treating them as society has done the people. There could never be a good man without a good woman. I believe it’s true when they say, “Behind every great man is a great woman,” although I’d rather say next to every man sides a great woman. No wonder God paired us with such amazing species.
In order for two people to communicate, it’s important that they learn to respect and accept the different opinions and beliefs that they have. It’s important that we listen to our women and not shut them up when they begin to express themselves, for without the exchanging of words, communication would not be and without communication we’d have no relationships. You don’t always have to agree with someone, neither is it mandatory for them to see things the way you do.
The characters that we choose to play will determine the length of our relationship. It’s not about how complicated “women” are, it’s about learning your woman through communication, allowing her to express herself. Allow her to voice her opinion and concerns, accepting her as a human being instead of an object. It’s sad that a woman feels special when a man treats her like a human being. Only a real man can do that. Are you able to say that about yourself? I would hope so.
