Mark Gungor says "Women's Brains are like Spaghetti"

And that's why they remember everything!

This is my favorite video to show couples struggling with communication ... or who simply need a good laugh together.

Try watching it together with your spouse:

Here are a few takeaways for the guys:

• Listen without trying to fix.
• Show her that you care about her more than her troubles.
• Be careful not to put your wife into a box. She should be your partner in life. Learn to share what matters most.
• Understand that for a woman, everything effects everything. In other words, make sure she is in the right mood emotionally before talking about certain boxes.

Here are a few takeaways for the girls:

• Don't force your husband to share about every box. Rather, support him in the ways you know will best help him connect with you, and important sharing will come natural.
• Respect your husband's need to spend time doing nothing.
• Make sure he is ready and open to listen when you need him to.
• Tell him very directly if you need him just to listen or to help you do something. He often won't have a clue what you really need.

Obviously these are only a few. Mark has a way of helping us see life from it's hilarious perspectives. Grease your marital communication with laughter and you will find your way smoothly through difficult times.
