The couple giving the class started out talking about men and women's brains. The husband talked about how men's brains have boxes or compartments in them. Each box is something like "work" or "children" or "golf" etc. And men can only open one box at a time. SO TRUE. So when talking to a man, you need to only open one box at a time, and if you want to open another box, make sure you close the first one and put it away.
Women's brains, however, have wires connecting each box and the wires are always sending signals to the other boxes at the same time. And they are fueled by emotion. Again, SO TRUE.
The couple gave a great analogy that I think every married couple should remember. They said that husbands and wives are each one pillar, and those two pillars need a foundation. The foundation is charity. Charity is SO important in marriage. Moroni 7:45-48
Some of you may have seen this picture before. It's called "The Hidden Tiger"
And surprisingly, you are supposed to find a hidden tiger in the picture. Can you see it? Take a minute and look before I tell you where it is.
Can you read the words spelled out on the tiger's stripes? "The Hidden Tiger"
The point of this was to show that it takes work to see what others see. Everyone has a different perspective, and in a marriage especially, you should try extra hard to see what your spouse sees. Just because you don't see it at first, does not mean it's not there.
There was SO much more in this class that I learned, but I don't want to make this longer than it needs to be. So I'll just leave you with this thought. I loved it and think that if everyone applies it to their marriage, it can only get better.
Show in every action that your spouse has highest priority in your life!
