There are many factors that explain why men often struggle to communicate. Not every man thinks the same way, and not every man will feel that what I say here fits him exactly. There are men who are great communicators, but by in large, the general complaint I hear from wives is: “We never talk!”
Emotional immaturity is the result of or a combination of the following: emotional trauma as a child or young person or never having had to accept responsibility for one’s own actions. These two things are the primary source of emotional immaturity. Combined, they reflect a troubled individual and personality that needs to either heal or mature properly.
Everyone has expectations. In marriage, we enter it expecting certain things. No one looks at someone else and says, “If I marry you, I’ll be so utterly miserable. Will you marry me?” No we expect things. We expect our mate to be faithful to us. We expect our spouse to love us. We expect our friends to back us up. We expect things from the government, from our boss, from our coworkers, and from life itself. We are full of expectations. But what happens when our expectations are unrealistic?
Choosing the right words are perhaps the single most important key to ending arguments and avoiding arguments. You’re going to disagree with people, and when you feel it is necessary to voice your disagreement, choosing the right words are essential. No two people can ever agree on everything.

If you believe there is a God, then you probably have a desire to go to Heaven when you die. But can you know for sure? Yes, you absolutely can. Just as we want our own children to be 100% sure of our love and care, God too wants you to have the same confidence and assurance. This simple explanation will be logical and straight forward. If nothing else, you will see the love of God manifested for you, and how amazing that love is.

Character is self government. The ability to rule your desires and lusts–even your needs–is what character is all about. It forces you to do the right thing even when you have no desire to do so.

Although it is impossible to lump every woman—or man—into a single category, in the decade that I have been counseling marriages, I have found that the vast majority of women who struggle in their marriage all lack the same ingredient.
