In brain-imaging studies, women have more blood flow to the parts of their brains that produce and interpret language, and there are more interconnections between less well-defined connections between the verbal and emotional parts of the brain. Early childhood studies have shown that girls have a greater capacity for verbal communication than boys they are more skilled using words as a way of sharing their experience.
The big problem between husband and wives if that they don’t realize how the other functions. A woman expects that since she is able to freely talk about her emotions, her husband is equally able to do so. Meanwhile, a man tends to view his wife’s efforts to communicate as simply sharing information, not as sharing emotional experience. So if she says ‘I’m upset that our son hasn’t called to tell us he got to his friend’s house’; he might say ‘I’m sure he’s all right,’ focusing on the ‘Is he safe?’ question. What she’s really saying is, ‘I’m anxious, I’m scared.’ But he’s not focusing on her emotional experience.
