Marriage is often not easy. Maybe man and woman love each other, but they argue . They get angry. Later they apologize, bit 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 . Tannen teaches at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She writes books about the ways people talk. She believes that men and women talk- and think- in different ways. She tells about some differences in her book, You Just Don’t Understand.
The differences, Tannen says, begin when men and women are children. Very young boys and girls are similar to each other. In other words, they like many of the same things and play in the same ways. They aren’t very different. But then there is a change. When children in the United States are five or six years old, boys usually play in large groups. One boy gives orders . 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. But girls there usually play in small groups or with one other girl. A girl’s best friend is her very good friend and important to her. Girls often don’t give orders; they give suggestions.
