Since men are from Mars and women are from Jupiter (or the other way round), it's very common they have different needs in a relationship/marriage.
Say "sense of security", women might feel "lack of security" for some reasons, but to men they usually don't have this abstract term in their dictionary and so probably they have no idea what it is and how to comfort their women. Therefore, communication by open discussion/sharing and acceptance is very important.
On the other hand, usually men would have a stronger "sense of responsibility" than women. Generally, they have stronger sense to "take care of their women" in mind. And plus when men are more rational (not all men at all times), they don't see big problem in a relationship (unless a "3rd party" is involved).
Women could be rational and/or irrational. For example, a woman decides to leave her man because no matter how hard he's been trying to do, she can't feel the love of him, her decision of leaving him is irrational. A woman can't bear her man being layoff for years but still lazy to look for a new job and choose to leave him, this is rational. |
