The differences between Men & Women...

Research shows that there are many differences between Men and Women. In the short amount of time that we have been married, we feel it appropriate to contribute to that research...

While shopping, a man will pay $2 for an item that he wants and it really costs $1. A woman will pay $2 for a $1 item that she doesn't even need.

Women have an obscene number of shoes in the closet and men have the same obscene number of hats.

In the bathroom, men have a toothbrush, toothpaste, a razor, a bar of soap and a towel while women have approximately 743 items (most of which the man can't even identify) - which explains why men spend mere milliseconds getting ready for the day, and women spend about 20 billion-trillion-infinity seconds getting ready for something like going to the grocery store or getting the mail.

Men have the unique ability to never close cupboards or drawers and women have amazing stealth abilities to always run into them in the middle of the night.

Women tend to adapt to sleeping in a small section of the love nest while men define the need to be a bed hog due to the fact that he is approximately two-thirds larger than the woman, thus explaining the bed ratio/sleeping arrangements.

Men have the amazing capacity to watch sports for unusual periods of time while rattling off the hundreds of facts and figures of the previous sport watching periods, and women have the ability to tune out white noise in their environment and/or multitask with reading and "listening" to the fantastic sports factoids.

Despite these differences (and these are just a few), it is wonderful to know that men and women compliment each other in the most perfect way as to show the fullness of the character of God. Life is about journeying together, through the sportscenter and shopping and shoes, through the good times and the bad, because whatever the differences, whatever the similarities, whatever the weather, we're better together.
