📚 Cognition of the Book’s Big Idea
The emotional requirements of men and women are not the same. Women need to be appreciated and affirmed, and males need to feel powerful and trustworthy. Men tend to address their problems on their own when they are under stress. Conversely, women would rather share. Instead of fighting, couples should speak to each other gently. When men and women learn to support one another and accept their differences, love can flourish.
