One of the essential steps in recovery from the effects of divorce is understanding what happened. We all grew up in a family of origin where we experienced certain types of family togetherness and differing roles and rules. Our tendency is to recreate these in our marriages. Since most couples didn't have identical family systems, this becomes a subtle, unconscious battleground.

12 - Seminar: Differences Between Men and Women (7:30 PM)

In our culture we stereotype males and females, and then ignore fundamental differences. Anthropologist Deborah Tannen refers to conversation between the sexes as "cross cultural communication." Women define intimacy as sharing deep personal feelings with one you trust; while men perceive it as spending quality time with someone special. These two sides of the intimacy coin can cause confusion in a relationship. Understand the opposite sex by uncovering some of these differences.
