marriage is often not easy. Maybe man and woman love each other, but they argue . They get angry. Later they apologize, but it happens again and again. What’s the problem? Are men and women really very different.
deborah tannen says yes, men and women are very different. Tannen teaches at georgetown university in washington, d.c. She writes books about the ways people talk.

For example, he says,” take this,” ‘ go over there”. He is the leader. Boys also brag . In other words, they say good thing about themselves.
