"My husband gets angry when I speak"
Is it true that a woman's nature is to talk?
If you, as a woman, are bothered by not being listened to, or if you, as a man, are driven mad by your wife talking too much about a topic, then you need to read this:
Let's see, as you know... Women are naturally better at talking than men.
We see this not only in the raw material from which we were created, but we know that when Hashem brought speech down to the world, He brought it down divided into 10 parts.
Nine of them were given to women, and the remaining one was given to men, and women took half of them away! Imagine, the difference is huge!
There is something beautiful that comes to reaffirm the need of women to speak (which we must know how to control):
Why did Hashem create Adam first and from him create Eve? Wasn't it more logical that He did so according to natural laws and that Adam came from the woman? Just as happens in childbirth (it is the woman who brings life into the world).
Hashem was merciful to women and thought, "How am I going to bring Java into the world alone? Who will she talk to while I create Adam?"
It sounds funny, but it's so true! Hashem knew women's need to communicate, and so He was merciful, so as not to force Eve to go through that moment of loneliness and having no one to talk to, He created her after Adam.
This difference is important for both women and men to know so that it doesn't cause problems in our marriage.
We women must understand that it is not because our husbands do not tell us everything in detail, nor because we do not receive all the information we expect from them.
And men need to understand when we talk to them or vent about why we go on for so long. But just as we need to understand each other, we also need to do our part and compromise to make our partners feel good.
As?
We women need to try to understand when enough is enough and not always go on as long as we want. Sometimes it's not necessary to tell them even the smallest details.
And men should also be patient and listen, and not only that, but do their part and try to talk more with their wives!
When your wife asks you, "How was it?" we'd like to hear more than just "Good."
I'm sure that by understanding this and supporting both sides, we'll be able to avoid many fights and live more harmoniously in our home.
