Differences in how men and women think.

There a couple of differences in communication styles between men and women.
1. Women talk primarily about feelings while men talk about reasons for those feelings.
2. Women are more emotional then men which leads to arguments on both sides.
3. Women are more likely to want to talk things out then men are.
4. Men like to fix things including emotions while women like to nurture things including emotions. Again this can lead to arguments on both sides.
5. Men are socialized to provide while women are socialized to nurture.

Once these differences are acknowledged on both sides, they can be practiced. For example women can work on sorting out the reasons for their feelings and men can work on labelling their feelings.
