If we get all worked up, we can’t work it out

Tuesday’s Truthful humor

​Welcome to Tuesday’s Truthful humor where we pull truth from humor.
 
A husband was trying to prove to his wife that women talk more than men. He showed her a study which indicated that men use about 10,000 words per day, whereas women use 20,000 words per day.
      
His wife thought about this for a while. She then told her husband that women use twice as many words as men because they have to repeat everything they say.
      
Her husband looked stunned. He said "What?"
 
Oh, friends, just as Gary Thomas says in his book, Sacred Marriage, the sooner we realize that many of our communication issues aren’t really about those communicating and those not listening, but they are more problems between men, generally, and women generally. This is really going to help me the next time I get frustrated because I feel someone’s not listening. I can get myself all worked up because I feel someone’s not listening but this prevents me from working it out with those I love.
