問題詳情
閱讀測驗One of the biggest differences between men and women is how they cope withstress. Under stress, men become increasingly focused and withdrawn while womenbecome increasingly overwhelmed and emotionally involved. At these times, a man’sneeds for feeling good are different from a woman’s. He feels better by solvingproblems while she feels better by talking about problems. Understanding andaccepting these differences reduces unnecessary friction in our relationships.Let’s look at a common example. When Tom comes home from a stressful day,he wants to relax and unwind by quietly reading the news. If he encounters problemsat work, he prefers to solve them by himself. Sometimes, he finds relief just byforgetting them. His wife, Mary, also wants to relax from her stressful day. However,she finds relief by talking about the problems of her day. Tom secretly thinks Marytalks too much, while Mary feels ignored. The tension which slowly builds upbetween them gradually becomes resentment.This example is present in almost every male-female relationship. Solving thisproblem depends not on how much people love each other but on how much theyunderstand the opposite sex. Insights about men and women can be gleaned bygrasping every opportunity to understand how each gender deals with stress,motivation, fulfillment, and appreciation. A thorough comparison between men’s andwomen’s behavior may deepen mutual understanding and help improve theirrelationship.
