Men and Women (1) Communication problems

(1) Communication problems, 19th July 2023

This series explores a range of topics connected with relationships between men and women, including some where a degree of confusion exists in the contemporary Reformed world. For example:

Understanding masculinity and femininity: How exactly has God made men and women different? To what extent are general trends reflected in individual cases? How should we seek to display our created male/female distinctiveness in everyday life?
Communication problems: Do men are women tend to communicate in different ways? What challenges does this pose for our relationships?
Dealing with singleness: How should men and women who desire to marry approach the challenges of a (potentially extended) period of singleness?
Choosing a marriage partner: What should single people be looking for in a potential spouse? How do you know when you’ve found it?
Understanding one another: Why do men and women sometimes completely fail to grasp what makes the other tick? And what can be done about it?
Authority and submission: What does it mean for a husband to be the “head” of his wife? What does it mean for a wife to “submit” to her husband?
Cultural differences in marriage: Are they real? If they are, do they matter?
Resisting cultural pressure: In what ways do worldly cultural pressures impinge on our relationships?
Handling hard times: What are the distinctive temptations that men and women tend to face in difficult circumstances? How can we handle them?
Sexual temptation: Where do we begin…?
And much, much more.
