According to Mark Gungor, laughing yourself to a better marriage, the female brain has a lot of inter connectivity like electric wires running all around. That’s why if you didn’t know, women are good at multitasking. If you have watched with amazement how your wife or mom managed an onslaught of cranky kids, talked on the phone to a colleague, and let the cat out… all at the same time, it is because of this same reason.
Most men are very different. Many a times my wife has found me sitting by myself and asked me what I was thinking. When I answered “nothing”, she got irritated and would press me to please tell her what I was thinking. She didn’t understand that I really was thinking… nothing! My desktop was empty, a screen saver was up, and no one was home. You see we men even have a compartment for nothing, Mark Gungor calls it the “nothing box”. Women can’t relate with this, as one woman put it:
“There is never a time that there’s nothing going on in my head. If I answer ‘nothing’, it’s because I’m mad at him!”
Have you ever wondered -;
· Why women jump topics in the middle of conversations. In case you found yourself as a woman being accused of going off the tangent, being muddled, not paying attention, not being respectful or all of the above, it’s because of how your brain is wired. Sometimes in my conversations with my wife, some things come up which to me are ‘unrelated’ to the topic of discussion and so I go “now where did that come from” to the chagrin of my wife. What I have failed to understand is that because I have only one window opened at a time, we are only having one conversation while my wife it turns out is deep into, oh, five or six windows at the same time I just didn’t know it.
· Why your wife by comparison, has so much more than you to talk about at the end of the day. Now you know – even at the end of a very busy day, you as a man have been busy running down one track, but not her.
This helps explain some perplexing things that often times gets us fighting as husbands and wives or maybe have been making you wonder what’s wrong with your man. This will greatly help you understand yourself as a woman and how you are wired differently from your man.
