The Surprising Ways Men And Women Communicate Differently

Plus, words have different meanings for men than they do for women. What she said is not always what he heard. And what he said is not always what she heard.

Faith and the Science of Romance

Does Faith agree with the Science of Romance? The Truth is, most of us have had an intimate relationship with someone at least once in our life time. You may be one whose experience of love was short circuited for one reason or another. But most of us have had at least a taste of romance, no matter how brief. Science suggests we continue to search for that same depth of emotional connection throughout our lives.

Femininity & Masculinity in the 21st Century

Our culture – with the well-intentioned assistance of more than a few overly zealous feminists – has all but obliterated God’s plan for a man and a woman. Some Christians totally ignore the concept of submission, whereas others read Paul’s words as permission for husbands to dominate and/or abuse their wives.
Neither option, of course, is acceptable, and neither will create the loving and romantic relationship you desire. My approach to healthy relationships is often labeled as an old-fashioned, out-dated notion about Love and Marriage. Some have suggested it’s rooted in the 1950s. Or in the Victorian Era. But it’s much older. In fact, it’s Ancient.

Why Men Build Walls

Many women complain over and over again about one of the biggest challenges they face in their relationships with men: the lack of communication. Most women work very hard to create a loving home and/or environment, but the men they love often don’t respond to them the way they’d like. Whether it’s trying to get a man to listen or trying to get him to talk, failed attempts to communicate with him may leave you feeling abandoned, blown off, dismissed, frustrated, isolated, shut out, lonely, undesirable, pushed away, unloved, rejected, unwanted. Learn why men stonewall and what you can do about it.
