TYPICAL EXERCISE
Takeaway—There are often differences between men and women in what is important for a good emotional connection. Here are some generalizations about male/female differences related to connection.
1. Women may emphasize closeness, feeling cared for, understood, accepted, and respected. Men may emphasize their partner’s availability (sexual and otherwise) and attention, and how much they feel accepted, trusted, admired and appreciated.
2. Men may need to learn the value of intimacy, caring for someone else, and sharing their feelings and lives whereas these things often come naturally for women.
3. Women want to avoid abandonment and men want to avoid rejection.
4. Men use love to get sex. Women use sex to get love.
Action—Discuss the generalizations—do they apply to you? Continue by discussing what is important for each of you to feel close to your partner. Write down your preliminary conclusions.
Commitment—Each of you say out loud: “I will continually be aware of what my partner needs to feel close to me and do my best to provide it.”
