Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus

[00:14.72]The love between the Venusians and Martians was magical.

[00:19.80]They delighted in being together

[00:22.17]and forget that they from different planets,

[00:24.91]and were supposed to be different.

[00:27.22]And one morning,

[00:28.71]everything they had learned about their differences

[00:31.33]was erased from their memory.

[00:33.17]And since that day,

[00:34.81]men and women have been in conflict.

[00:37.43]The most frequently expressed complaint women have about men

[00:41.43]is that men don't listen.

[00:44.08]Either a man completely ignores her when she speaks,

[00:47.27]or he listens for a few beats,

[00:49.39]assesses what is bothering her and gives her a solution.

[00:53.62]No matter how many times she tells him that he's not listening,

[00:57.66]he doesn't get it,

[00:59.46]and he keeps doing the same thing.

[01:01.47]She wants empathy; he thinks she wants solution.

[01:05.65]The most frequently expressed complaint men have about women

[01:09.90]is that women are always trying to change them.

[01:12.84]When a woman loves a man,

[01:14.56]she feels responsible to assist him in growing

[01:17.65]and tries to help him improve the way he does things.

[01:21.15]She thinks she's nurturing him,

[01:23.66]while he feels he's being controlled.

[01:26.34]Martians value power,

[01:28.65]competency, efficiency, and achievement.

[01:31.50]To offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume

[01:35.73]that he can't do it on his own.

[01:37.62]Men are very touchy about this,

[01:39.84]because the issue of competence is so important to them.

[01:43.27]Love is magical,

[01:45.34]and it can last if we remember our differences.
