Men are from mars…Women are from Venus
A week after our daughter was born, she kept waking us in the night thus my wife and I were completely exhausted. My wife had been torn at delivery and was taking painkillers. She could barely walk. After five days of staying home to help, I went back to work. While I was away, she ran out of pain killers. Instead of calling me, she asked my visiting brother to get her more. My brother did not return with the pills. My wife spent the whole day in pain.


When I returned home after work she was very upset. I misinterpreted the cause of her distress and thought she was blaming me. She said “I've been in pain all day…I ran out of pills. I've been stranded in bed and nobody cares!” “Why didn’t you call me?” I asked defensively. She said, “I asked your brother, but he forgot! I've been waiting for him to return all day, I can barely walk, I feel so deserted!”


me when I didn't even know she was in pain. After exchanging a few harsh words, I headed for the door. We had both reached our limits. Then something happened that would change my life.
My wife said “Stop, please don't leave. This is when I need you most,  I'm in pain, I haven't slept in two days,  please listen to me”. I stopped for a moment to listen “John, you are a fair-weather friend, when am sweet and nice, you are here for me, but as soon as I am not, you walk right out of that door.” Then she paused and her eyes filled with tears as her tone shifted, she said, “right now I'm in pain and I have nothing to give; this is when I need you the most. Please come and hold me, you don't have to say anything, I just need to feel your arms around me. “Please don't go”


I walked over silently and held her as she wept in my arms. After a few minutes she thanked me for not leaving. At that moment I started to realize the meaning of love, unconditional love…that day, for the first time, I didn't leave her. I stayed and it felt great. I marveled at how easy it was for me to support her when I was shown the way. How had I missed this? Another woman would have instinctively known what my wife needed. But as a man, I didn't know that touching, holding and listening were so important to her. By recognizing these differences I started to learn a new way of relating to my wife…”
