Ladies, want to see your husband change from a sports-watching couch-rider into a household superhero? You just need to understand his strengths. So, here’s a list of his special MAN POWERS, courtesy of relationship expert Brenda Della Casa:
Super silence. ---
Why does your husband clam up when something’s bugging him?One scientific theory claims that men have a smaller cluster of nerves in the area that bridges the left brain, which controls language, and the right brain, which controls feelings. Since women have a bigger bridge, they can put emotions into words quickly, while guys struggle. Also, guys think expressing feelings is a sign of weakness. So if you want him to open up, DON’T ask questions or offer advice. Just tell him you’re there if he wants to talk. Once he knows you don’t think he’s a wimp, he’ll confide in you more often.
