From a course designer who had decades of loving and lliving with one deeply loved woman.....
Woman 101
Again, there is a tiny bit of doubt swelling up,
and she hates the feeling that he's lying.
His habit, more of a condition reflex, is to ask,
"You believe me, don't you?"
A twelve year old could see through his pretense.
No, she doesn't believe him, and worse, doesn't respect him.
Why is it that a man will not try to learn a woman?
It may be that he doesn't know as much about what is
meaningful with the woman in his life
as he does about his car, boat, guns, or hobby and tools. .
And, will it ever dawn on him to find teachers to
give 'husband' and 'father' lessons?
Each day, he plays the game of his life,
part anticipating in the great sport of all; building a family.
But, for the wrong and unknown reasons the rules are
self-taught by a man convinced they will bring happiness.
The culprit in our living together... is a shortage of hours;
used up by working, eating, sleeping, and in getting there.
Genial conversation for genuine understanding
and getting to know a mate, is actually possible
through affection and intimacy, which can be ours, and
fitted in, or around in spite of all the 'Gottas.'
So, in a hidden desire to be better and a more loving
family head, a man can begin by enrolling in, 'Woman 101', to
begin a refresher course in what he should know
about staying in love.
After he enrolls and pays attention to the obvious and needed,
the eye-openers will change his life and hers immediately!
The price; giving Gotta' priority, to the tender things of woman.
Oh yes but I believe this works both way... I do women too owe it to their mates/partners to understand them as well.. and also to understand that no one is a mind reader...lol Just my little wee bit of opinion here.. great little piece, my friend... M
Glad to hear you're okay over there in Georgia..)
... certainly cuts to the chase and down to the bone for many of us touchy-feely woman-types for sure (whether male or female!!). Not much I can bring myself to say here, William... 'cept... gulp. Intimacy... now there's a scary word between man and wife... !! K xx
It really is dependent upon how we were value programed and where our priorities lie. Good introspective questions we should ask ourselves. Jon Michael Willey
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
Glad to hear you're okay over there in Georgia..)
Good one.
