Women Talk

There are many enduring qualities of the female species. They are loving, caring, loyal, strong, emotional and the list goes on... However, there is one quality that tends to stand out in every culture of women ... there ability to vocalize what's exactly on their minds. Yes women talk allot. Now this may come as a shock to some women out there because they have yet to take a breath to hear someone say it. Thank God for written words. It is not my intention to spin this aspect of a woman as a negative one, on the contrary. Many wars could have been avoided, in my opinion if more dialogue had taken place both at the international level and right in our homes. Husbands have for thousands of yes answered woman's "thorough dissertations" of tasks, or directions with, "yes dear" or "ok". An almost humbling response, translated to mean, "please no more talking I gat it". In most cases we end up doing it our way anyways, not because we are stubborn but because you (women) have given us too much to remember and we forgot most of it. Please for give us. But, aside from God giving women, extremely, powerful vocal cords to send their husbands into a state of depression, why do women communicate so aggressively and so frequently?

In her blog, DEANNA DAHLSAD, gives a wealth of insight into " Why DO Women Talk So Much?".

She explains that, "A female brain can, and will, effortlessly, put out 6,000 to 8,000 spoken words a day. A man's maximum spoken verbiage lies between 2,000 to 4,000 spoken words daily -- and if watching my dad and husband is any indication, it's not without great effort. All of this has its roots in our survival as a species." Also, "For women, talking and sharing are bonding experiences which help them build relationships. Women learn how to trust and who to trust by communicating and paying attention to the smallest of details. Having communication reciprocated, to know that others are listing, is a reward too." She concluded by saying, "Women talk so much because communication never fails to make women feel understood, comforted and supported. It's proof that we matter! And we do delight in letting others know that they matter too".

Oh that is so nice. I will never listen to my wife in the same way as I have done in the pass again. No seriously. I hope the other men reading this will also understand and learn to grasp the verbally therapeutic nature of the females in their life.

Here is some home work for the women out there. I would love to read some of your responses to this. Please mentally deliberate on this topic and make relevant comments. I am looking for comments that will share the thoughts and feel of other women as to why they feel they need to talk so much. Also, respond in a way that would help us guys understand and be in a more receptive mode when you speak. Yes educated us as to why we ought to listen more and what you want us to do help you achieve verbally therapeutic bliss.
