32: Communicating with men (advice for women + everyone else)

Now We're Getting Somewhere

I’m back with my husband, Gil, to share some ideas about how to communicate with men.

(This is part 2 of the series we started in Episode 31, where we discussed communicating with women.)

In this episode, Gil and I share our best tips for communicating with men, and pull back the curtain of our marriage a bit, too. You’ll hear:

+ Why it never worked when I’d (emotionally) ask Gil to “take my side” - and what I now ask for instead.

+ A time when I got mad at Gil - and why it was actually pretty effective

+ Plus listen till the end for a simple thing that I do that earns me an astonishing amount of goodwill in my marriage :)

As I mentioned last time, I hesitated to make this episode. I don't always love making gender-based generalizations - but I also felt like this was a topic that could help a lot of people.

I hope it's helpful for you.

This episode is for you, if you're a woman who sometimes struggles to communicate with men.

This episode is for you, if you're a man who sometimes struggles to explain to women why their communication isn't working.

(And this episode is for you, if you are a person of any gender who wants to communicate better with anyone - but especially men!)
