Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus There was a popular self-help book in the 1990’s written by American author, and relationship counselor, John Gray. Gray suggested that the most common relationship problems between men and women are a result of fundamental differences between the genders, that men and women are from, relatively speaking, distinctly different planets, – men from Mars and women from Venus– and that each gender is acclimated to its own planet's society, customs, and LANGUAGE. Women are the “gatherers” who are drawn to working in groups and continually discussing the happenings in their lives. Men on the other hand are hunters who are created to work independently and since they have no one to converse with have acquired the distinct characteristic of keeping their life’s developments to themselves. These differences in language use become quite prominent when one is looking at it in the terms of interpersonal relationships. It almost becomes like a clash of the titans or like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Can these language differences be overcome? Well that, in my opinion is up to the individuals. I don’t think there is one cure-all remedy to each gender being from its own planet, with its own society, customs, and LANGUAGE. The Fur-Kid
