Women have a greater sensitivity to emotional issues than men. So, when there is a quarrel, generally it is the man’s job to concede to his wife.

So 'Yes dear' is the answer? I respectfully disagree. The last several 'dailys' have been...let's just say off-the-mark. Reply

Conceding
I will concede that women are more intuitive, but not necessarily more sensitive to emotional issues.
I don't believe that I am the only woman in the world who thinks with logic and I happen to be lousy at detecting emotional issues. (I might have been better at it prior to a head injury, but in the last 28 years, that has not been the case.)
In my case, I was the one who headed for the couch. I'm not going to argue with someone who has to be right and who is not willing to rationally discuss the situation, analyze the problem and find a solution.

Unconditional Love "Women have a greater sensitivity to emotional issues than men. So, when there is a quarrel, generally it is the man’s job to concede to his wife" OR ELSE!!! Because it sure beats sleeping on the couch, out in the garage. Reply
Console your wife Never concede! always console, for it is a MAN'S JOB to protect the safety and security of the Mishpucha.
