What's interesting is that this can also tie back to why many young men can have trouble early in marriages. I can speak from experience, that therapeutic benefit for women is very strong, and initially it was difficult to process that she just wanted to talk about her problems (and I couldn't help but to try and solve them). It was all so simple after that...
I can't tell if you are being facetious here, but it works either way. :) It's very true that men and women often differ in how they prefer to work out their problems, whereby women prefer to talk it out and men often prefer to do something that takes their mind off of it. Of course, it's just a generalization, but it's one that applies to my marriage as well. All relationships seem to evolve to lower energy states, which to a point, is a good thing.It was all so simple after that...
