Every week at this exact same time, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.360 I have an hour on men and women. It's titled 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:16.079 the Male Female Hour. I will periodically share with you 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:21.320 the many, many many emils that I get telling me 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.800 that this has turned their marriage around, and it is 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.840 so exciting to me. I'm so happy about that. And 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:36.120 we cover very sensitive issues, very sensitive difficult issues like 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.080 you know, if you're not in the mood, what do 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.000 you do well? The answer is, don't depend on moods. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.200 In fact, I'm going to do allan a happiness Hour 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:52.600 on do nothing based on mood. Moods are a dead 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:57.400 end in life acting on moods. Anyway, everybody welcome. I'm 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.320 Dennis Prague in the Male Female Hour. The subject today 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:10.760 is reading women's minds there and they're the key. The 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:18.320 key is that, generally speaking, men believe that men should 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:23.000 be able to read their minds. Here's the question, is 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.760 that true? And women, you have to be honest on this. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.720 Would you like your man to be able to know 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.560 what you want, what you're thinking, how you're feeling without 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.800 you spelling it out? And do you feel that if 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.320 you have to spell it out, well, there's something a 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.800 little wrong in his understanding of me. If he really 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.240 really knew me and really really loved me, he would 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:57.040 know without my saying one. A. Praeger seven seven six, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.080 one eight p R. A. G. E Are seven seven six. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:08.480 The experience of nearly all men that I have spoken 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:13.000 to on this matter is that their wives or girlfriends 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:18.960 expect them to know what they want without their saying so. 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:24.800 And here's the clincher. I don't know if it's the clincher. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:32.520 Here's the punchline. They feel that there is something said 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:39.520 unfortunate if he can't that the notion that she should 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.919 have to tell him means that there's a failure in 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:50.040 their communication. Men, has this been your experience? See I 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.800 happen to have male that I am a solution to 0:04:53.880 --> 0:05:01.000 this problem. It will be highly complex. It will take 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.599 approximately one sentence to give you the solution. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.640 But I won't. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.839 I won't for before I give you the solution. However, 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.359 I want to establish that this really is an issue. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.800 If it's not an issue, then we'll move on and 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:24.440 discuss thirteenth century Celtic philosophy. But if it is an issue, 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.640 it is definitely worth engaging in one eight Prager seven 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:34.680 seven six eight seven seven two four three triple seven six. Gentlemen, 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:40.599 do you generally believe that your wife would like you 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:46.000 to be able to know what she wants without her 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:53.279 telling you? And ladies women w O e n or 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.080 w O M y n if you prefer that spelling, 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.960 is that what you would like from a guy? From 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.320 your guy, I shouldn't have to tell him. 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.120 I shouldn't have to I'll read to you. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.919 For example, I went on a search engine in on 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:16.560 the internet, and I searched read a woman's mind, So 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.480 I came up with this from a woman who writes 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:25.000 about about women, and this is how to read a 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:25.760 woman's mind. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.240 There's not a joke. This is that serious. This is 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:29.560 not a joke. 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.480 How often have you felt you don't understand women? Well, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.839 I know a lot of men who are sailing in 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.800 the same boat as you are. Women, they tell me, 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.719 are a complicated breed. It is tough to know what's 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.080 going on inside her head. Although I can't claim to 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.719 be an expert on the subject, being a woman myself, 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.240 I quite understand the mechanics of a woman's mind. To 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.200 know your woman better, you need to be really able 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.680 to listen quote unquote to her. And when I say listen, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:04.120 I mean using not just your auditory senses, but using 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.839 your other senses as well. This is when men begin 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.880 to slash their wrists. A woman communicates by using more 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.320 than mere words. Usually she speaks with body language, eyes, 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.800 and sometimes even through touch. If you were really cued 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.720 into your woman, you would be able to read her 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:29.520 mind quite easily for beginners. And then she has some 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:34.480 websites which don't really help. But this is perfect. See, gentlemen, 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.400 it's not hard. All you have to do is read 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:43.240 our body language, our eyes, and our touch, and if 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.080 you're really cute into your woman, you'd be able to 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.760 read her mind quite easily, to which the guy is 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.960 now saying, Oh my god, no, I can't believe this. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.080 Why don't you drum roll? Please? 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:07.000 Drum roll please? This is what men are really thinking 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:12.200 when they hear this litany of things that they should 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.080 be doing in order to understand what it is that 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:24.280 their wife wants. The man is wants to say, the 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:29.320 drummer has been shot. We have a resident drummer, however, 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.720 he was hijacked by terrorists on his way to the 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.160 studio today. So I will supply my own drum roll 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:49.520 what it is? Right? All right? That's it. I waste 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:55.319 it all that time for that nothing, mediocre, pathetic drum roll. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:58.559 Huh. 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:03.679 I think sometimes you have to insult the musician to 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:05.480 get the best out of them. Tuscany, he needs to 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:09.040 do that, all right? Here is it? A guy says, 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:17.280 my darling, why don't you just tell me? But you 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.800 understand a guy who says that for many women is 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:27.360 an utter and abject failure that he could not read 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.199 it on his own. All right, let's go to your 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:36.880 calls here and let's go to uh let's go to Plano, 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.560 Texas and Mara. Hello, Mara, Dennis Prager, Hi, how are you? 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.119 I am well, thank you good, thanks. 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.880 For taking my call. I just I want for someone 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.520 saying I don't remember who it was. But no one 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.319 should have expect to have their mind be read after 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.200 the age of eighteen months. 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.840 I love it. Are you married? 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:01.760 Yes, I'm married. 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.560 And you don't. And you have applied that rule to 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:06.319 your marriage. 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:07.160 I do. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.800 I try as much as I can. 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.520 If you would like me, I will personally send an 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.840 email to your husband telling him how lucky he is. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:19.319 Thank you, I appreciate that makes sense. 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.760 That is a great lie. Leave keep that out. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.920 No one should expect to have their mind read after 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.280 the age of eighteen buds, that's great. 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:30.840 Who told you that? 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.000 I don't remember? I wish I did that. It was 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.480 a few years ago and I just don't remember. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.240 All right, But is there a part of you that 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.560 would like your husband to be able to or you 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.320 truly have relinquished that well, I mean I. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:52.120 Think at times where when I'm frustrated that we're not 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.800 communicating properly, then definitely there's that part of me that 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.439 would just wish he got it in a sense. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.160 Yeah, I think you. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.719 Have to really, you know, give our spouse as a 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.800 benefit of the doubt that they you know. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.840 All right, so you acknowledge that this is a part 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:14.160 of female nature that you simply had to fight. I think, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:15.560 So okay, all right. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:18.000 Let me leave it at that. Mara, bless you, thank you. 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.480 This is a big deal because it's a real source 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.160 of some marital tension where the guy is deemed somewhat 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.439 of a failure and maybe he isn't back in a moment. 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.400 This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:44.599 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.280 Dennis Prager here on the Male Female Hour every week 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.679 at exactly this time, we talk about men and women. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:50.760 Today. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.200 It's about the desire that many many women have that 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:59.959 their man, their husband, their future husband, their hopefully future husband, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.559 can read their mind. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:03.720 Now you know my view. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:07.880 We are allowed to have an infinite number of wishes, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.200 that's the way it is. And men are allowed to 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:18.160 have their fantasy wishes. The question is whether we apply 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.560 them to reality and let them disturb us when they're 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.559 not fulfilled. So you are allowed to want this, you're 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.000 but it's a not a good idea to expect it. 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.120 There's no reason on earth why a man who loves 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.959 and adores you should read your mind. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:40.400 There just isn't. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:48.920 And well, here is a call that may make may 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.960 I can't predict, but I think may give an idea 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.240 of how serious an issue this can be. Bruce in 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.560 Fort Worth, Texas, Dennis Prager. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.440 High, Hi, not a better program on the radio. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:03.800 Mister Prale, thank you very much. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.240 See this was an instrumental this subject in my divorce. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.640 And uh, you know, I could not read my wife's mind, 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.599 so I started to attempt to try, and when I 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.800 get it wrong, it made the matters even worse. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.360 And and and she felt as a result. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.080 What she felt as a result that I could not 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.720 read her mind, that that I wasn't intuitive or didn't 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.960 care for her, I wasn't paying enough attention, et cetera, 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.280 et cetera, That. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.880 If you really loved her, you would know her, and 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.840 you would know her that would be demonstrated by you 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.359 or knowing what she's feeling exactly. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.400 And what a what a waste of a relationship. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.440 Well, Bruce, it breaks my heart but I want you 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.040 to know you've helped a lot of people. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.480 I thank you. That's that's. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.520 The subject lends itself to a lot of levity, and 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.760 I've engaged in my own heath, but I didn't. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.440 Raise it because it's light. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.400 It's not light. It's destructive. And there is a man 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.720 who claims now, I'm sure his wife would offer other thoughts, 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.520 and I have no doubt. That's not my point. My 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.320 point is it was bad enough for someone to say 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.520 that was a root cause of his divorce. Well, if 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.960 it's a root cause of a divorce, it's certainly going 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.320 to be a root cause of tension in those who 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:32.960 don't divorce. And that is a fact. I said i'd 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.400 give you the solution later, I'll give you the solution now, 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:44.720 because because there's no reason to delay. The answer is 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:49.320 you tell him what you feel. That's the answer. It's 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.120 so simple that it's almost painful that it needs to 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.600 be said, But it does need to be said. People 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.520 don't think. If you want him to know what you're feeling, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.640 tell him. And the vast majority of men are decent 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.760 guys who will respond. 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.080 And that's it. It is so simple. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.720 It doesn't mean he loves you less, understands you less, 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.400 and I love I even remember the caller's name, Maara, 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:21.320 also in Texas that after the age of eighteen months, 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.760 you should not expect your mind to be read. That's 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.960 why God gave us the ability to talk. By the way, 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.520 sometimes this is a different subject, and it has not 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.640 just for men and women or husbands and wives. Is 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.440 you might want to write it. I believe that there 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.080 were times when writing is more effective than speaking. It 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.280 gives you a chance to really know what you're saying, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.160 gives you a time to think it over, gives the 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.040 person who is receiving the words a chance to react 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.840 non defensively. You might want to do it in an 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.440 instant messaging session. You might want to do it in 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.200 a letter, in an email. I mean it to someone 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.520 you live with. Well, I don't know why writing is 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:10.479 always considered inferior to saying. It's not at all. Sometimes 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.200 one is better sometimes the other, But that's another subject. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.440 The point is, tell. 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:22.480 Him in Brynmore, Pennsylvania, it's Francine. Hello, Francine, Dennis Praeger, 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.240 thanks for calling. 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.600 You're very welcome. So my point is, and I learned 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.320 this from a male therapist's mine wall. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.320 You learned it from a whom from a male therapist. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:33.760 Male therapist. Okay. 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.520 And so he asked me a question about my husband, 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.360 and I was describing him and he said, oh, so. 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.800 He has man disease, male disease? 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.040 And what is that? Man or man disease? It's a 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:45.720 bad connection. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:47.760 Go on, okay, Well I can make it better. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.880 Well, yeah, what were you doing originally? Were you talking 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:55.720 through a megaphone? 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.160 I was talking through my glue tooth. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.280 Oh don't do that, folks, please, it's a national radio show. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:03.120 Okay, go ahead. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.159 So he called it man disease. And I think that 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.000 the reason that women would like men to be more 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.919 intuitive is because they are more intuitive generally than the 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.080 male species. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.800 Accept my dear, except this is key. Not with men, 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:25.840 they're more intuitive with other women. You don't read our 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:33.120 minds any better than we read yours. Silence is agreement, 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.800 said the tellm of two thousand years ago? Is there? 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:42.080 She gone, that's funny. Uh, call me back if you can, 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.840 because I'd love to get your reaction. But that's key. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.840 I told you this is a very serious subject. It's 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:53.000 very important women's intuition forgetting women's intuition about all sorts 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.640 of things. Or they may read their child, they may 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.760 read their children better in certain ways and certain ways. 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.200 Not that that's a separate istion you. But I don't 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.040 believe that women read men's minds one whit better than I. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.480 There's no doubt in my mind that they don't. Because 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.439 the human being is not capable of reading others' minds. 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.679 That's not that's not a gift that that we're given. 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.639 And so there's it's not a flaw. It's not a 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.840 it's not a flaw. And man, it's not a flaw 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:24.040 on women. But when women say, well we read others, 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.879 they mean other women. Yes, they do pick up on 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:32.280 cues from other women, no doubt, but we're not women. 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:38.640 Anyway. 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:41.440 Thank God, you don't know what your man is thinking 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:45.680 all the time. It's one of the great reliefs, reliefs 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:53.040 that men have knowing knowing that there are three men 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:57.600 in the studio right now, allotted two winterds. The they're 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:02.080 all this is the smile of recognition. Let's go to 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:07.280 Debbie in Van Nights, California. Hi, Debbie, Dennis. 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:11.720 Prager, Hi, Hi, I think it would be actually now 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.320 that you just brought up. It would be a good 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:18.000 topic to ask, man, do women read your mind any 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:18.920 better than you read? 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:19.080 It? 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.280 Is because I think I don't agree with you. I 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:22.520 think that we do tend to. 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.359 Try harder to you may try harder. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.720 I mean, I think, and I can only speak it 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.440 from my marriage. I know that I succeed much better 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.560 in reading my husband's mind, but I don't expect him 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.840 to read mine anymore. It was very devastating for the 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:38.920 first few years, uh huh that I was married. 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.760 And I thank you for your honesty. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.919 Yeah about its feeling like, oh, he doesn't love me 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:45.680 enough if only did. 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.200 That's right, This is I tell me. I'm going to 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:49.880 keep you on. I want to know what you're reading 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:51.600 your husband's mind back in a moment. 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.600 This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:08.440 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:20.680 It's just a shame that's relevant. 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.639 You're listening to the male female hour on the Dennis 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:31.320 Prager Show. Another hopefully deeply relationship improving hour here. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:34.520 On the real, real, real issue. 0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:37.639 Indeed, as one man called in, it was the primary 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.800 cause of his divorce. Tragically, his wife feeling that he 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.680 was inept on loving and caring because he couldn't read 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:49.040 her mind. And I think that is a natural proclivity 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.520 of women to want their minds read. It is a 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.880 way of their feeling that they are truly understood and loved. 0:20:55.920 --> 0:21:00.840 But it is not available to others. Women pick up 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:06.560 on cues in other women that I will acknowledge. And 0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:10.680 therefore they apply that to men picking up cues and women. 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.000 But men pick up cues and men as it were, 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.280 that women don't pick up on. We know what other 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.360 guys are thinking a lot of the time. Not that 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:25.440 that's very complex, It's pretty much one or two subjects. 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:29.399 But let's go back to a Debbie here, and Debbie, 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.480 now you say that you do on occasion or often 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:34.720 read your husband's mind. 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.000 Well, women have the advantage because I think men and 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:39.840 men are not as complicated as women are. 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:41.040 Oh you could drop. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:46.639 I think just state categorically, we are not as complicated 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:46.840 as you. 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.800 They're just not as complicated as we are. I mean, 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.520 you know, for women to pack on an overnight thing, 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:54.080 you need a suitcase because I don't know what I 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.160 feel like we'reing tomorrow. I mean, that's right, well, those 0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:00.880 women are so emotionally driven that what we want there 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:02.200 is no consistent basis. 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:02.679 That's right. 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.560 I wanted on Monday, could well, which makes it so 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:07.560 you would admit, Debbie, it makes it even harder to 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:08.280 read your mind. 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:11.160 I advise women all the time. This is my number 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:15.359 one tip to bribes. Don't expect him to read the mind. 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:16.280 He's not your mother. 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.760 That's great. You women are coming up with great lines. 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:24.399 That Mara's great line after eighteen months. We should not 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:25.359 expect people to. 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.280 Read our lines because save the heartache. 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:30.360 Because that's right. 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.680 But you acknowledged earlier. 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.400 You did acknowledge that it was a source of heartache 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.000 for you in the beginning of your marriage. 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.159 And I thought about it, and I realized the reason 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:41.359 is because I had, you know, it was at a 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.359 time that I was having, you know, my oldest children. 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.560 I realized, you know what, I'm expecting him to be 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.159 like me. I am constantly figuring out what does this 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:51.520 crime mean? What is this crime mean? What does this 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:55.560 child mean? These nonverbal cues from kids and I, you know, 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:57.920 women will tell you they know what we do. 0:22:58.200 --> 0:22:59.440 That's right. 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.320 I'm tired, that's right. So if we can do it, 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:05.919 of course, man, we love this child. You could do 0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:06.720 it if you love me. 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.959 You're how good? How's your marriage today? 0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:12.280 Wonderful? 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:16.639 Okay, that's it. That's it. Bless you. That was so important. 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:20.840 Thank you, Donna Phoenix, Arizona. Dennis Prager, Hei, Hi, good morning. 0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.520 My husband reads and reads my mind and knows me 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:27.159 really well, which I have to say is sometimes pretty 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:32.000 scary for me. The converse, though, is that he expects 0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:36.080 me to know him just as well, for example, not 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.600 to ask questions, just to know what he likes. Who's 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.399 been married a long time just now, don't ask me 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:43.320 to like know what. 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.159 For example, what he wants for dinner? I mean, you 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.000 know what happened at work? 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.119 Do you what would he like to have for dinner? 0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:54.680 Do you want to do this activity or that one? 0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:57.879 And it sometimes, I have to say, quite. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:01.280 Frustrating, frustrating. 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:06.399
