Women are like storms of emotion. They express the broad spectrum of how they feel. Sometimes they don’t fully understand why they feel the way they do, so a man’s effort to fix what is not clearly defined can be frustrating. Don’t resist the storm of emotion. It will only last longer. The storm will pass only when a woman feels understood. Let me illustrate this analogy with a personal experience. I remember one time Wifey and I were conversing. We disagreed or snipped at everything each other said. Eventually, I got frustrated and said, “This is going nowhere. Let’s just agree not to talk to each other for a while.” That was not well received, but rather than continue to bicker with her I chose to sit next to her, be quiet and hold her in my arms. I said nothing for about four to five minutes. Suddenly, she started crying and related that she missed her younger sister. I decided to stop fighting the storm. In turn, she was able to open up and mourn the fairly recent loss of her younger sister. (She died in our house...and in my arms after a battle with cancer) It was interesting that I perceived her mood as being disagreeable. Sometimes your perception of someone’s feelings is not at all what is really bothering them. There are occasions when a man’s seemingly small gift of a quiet and strong presence makes all the difference in allowing a woman to open up to express her real feelings.
