Mars vs. Venus

It was brilliant, whomever who had come up with this statement, “men are from mars, women are from Venus”. I agreed, wholeheartedly.

Why?

I was reading this novel by an unknown author, titled Amazing Grace. Don’t bother looking for it. I didn’t even finish it, was frustratingly boring.

The story?

Well, typical. Working lady juggles between family and career. Faithful yet inattentive hubby. Finds life dull and dreary. Expects romance but hubby does not understand her thoughts. Meets average joe who’s a college dropout. Finds him amazingly sexy. Beginning of adulterous thoughts and I’m not sure if she does ‘it’ with him in the end coz I never finished the book.

Anyway…

The point is, while I was reading the book, I was thinking to myself. Men and women are pretty different. In the book, the woman wants attention from the man, wants him to make her feel wanted, flattered and beautiful but man thinks he doesn’t need to say out his feelings, coz it should be understood. He thinks the world of her but doesn’t say it so woman thinks hubby doesn’t love her anymore.

I guess every woman should understand, just because your husband isn’t as romantic as last time, just because he isn’t generous with praises, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have love in his heart. And every man should understand that declaring your love again once in a while doesn’t hurt anyone.

But I must say, in the end, love based on mutual understanding is thousand times better than love that needs constant confession. Ahh…what am I saying? I need both!

Agreed?
