Bridging the Communication Gap in Relationships

Ask Koren

I asked a male friend of mine the other day what are some things that are common or unique to men that a woman might not readily understand. One of his answers was that men want to settle an issue as quickly as possible and move on. A female answering a similar question about something unique to women mentioned that women like to get to the bottom of things and they would reject 99% of the story if 1% didn’t make sense. Communication between men and women are different in so many ways, but the fact that they both mentioned this same issue says a lot.

It’s common for women to want to talk about something until they are completely satisfied that they understand it from every angle, not leaving any stoned unturned. They have these discussions with a man who will just want to give the basic details and be done with it, because it has already happened and telling the whole story with all the details will result in more where’s, what’s, when’s and the dreaded why’s and who? In his mind she will ask for the truth, but she can’t handle it; she will want details that are not necessary and the story is pretty straightforward but she will always think that there must be more to it.

Here are five ways to bridge the gap in malefemale communication in a relationship.

1. Know your partner. You need to understand the person you are with and their background and experience and why they are sensitive to certain issues,

Lime ... “to hang around idly” or “to go out on the town.”

hence their reaction.

2. Listen. Pay attention to what your partner is saying and don’t just focus on getting your point across. Listen to their reasons why they want to end or prolong the discussion.

3. Compromise. Meet each other halfway. Ladies, sometimes give him a break with forcing for more details and just accept and let it go; guys, answer as many questions as you can because if you don’t, I can guarantee you, it is likely to come up again.

4. Be understanding. There is a time and place for everything; therefore choose a time when your partner is not tired or frustrated to have the discussion.

5. Do not generalize. All men are not the same and your partner is not your ex, so broad brushing is not appropriate. Treat your partner like the unique person he or she is.

There really is no magic formula for communication when there is a disagreement. It takes practice and patience and two partners who are committed to being honest and fair.

Hawks and Rams’ Best of Three It was a history making basketball weekend. But, the turnout was scant for the final two games of the St.Thomas – St.John, Interscholastic Athletic Association Jr. Boys Varsity Basketball Championship series between the visiting Charlotte Amalie High School Chicken Hawks and the Elmore Stoutt High School Rams.

The Rams who joined the IAA League in December, were seeking their first Jr. Varsity Boys title. In St. Thomas on Friday night, they lost to the Hawks, 37-29. Hosting the Hawks on Saturday at the Multipurpose Sports Complex for the very first time, they won 50-27, before falling to the Hawks, 46-39 in the deciding game on Sunday.

Players on both teams played with passion and fight. The teams met five times and heading into Sunday, the series was evened at 2-2.

“It has been an excellent series – not just for these three games but for the season – where the series had been tied at 2-2 heading into the deciding game,” Hawks coach Thomas Brutvan noted. “Every game has been competitive other than yesterday when we got blown out. But this team (Rams) are freakishly athletic, well coached, good system offense, good system and good defense. We see everybody they play have front problems with the pressure and that’s why we figured today we had to pressure them back to stress them the way they were stressing us yesterday,” he added, saying that he enjoys playing games like that where it’s competitive throughout and you have to play your “A” game to get a win. “We knew coming in, anything short of our best game today, wasn’t going to be good enough, after we saw them play the way they did on

their home court.”

After getting whipped 50-27, Brutvan said you could see the true character through adversity because his guys got beaten like they haven’t been beaten all season. “To come back the next day and beat a team that beat you that bad really showed they didn’t doubt, they believed in what we were trying to do and we were able to come in, play our best game when we needed it,” he said.

Rams Athletics Director Derwin Scatliffe agreed the series was a great one where coaches made adjustments and the players try to come out and execute. “The Hawks coach changed his game plan, after sitting in a zone the last couple of games – the reason being to try and rest his players,” Scatliffe noted. “He realized we made the adjustment, then today he played man on man from jump street and when he got a lead, to rest his players, he went back to zone and you call that coaching.”

The Rams have learnt Scatliffe said, not because you blow out a team on the day, they come back with the same players, noting changed all they did was to change the philosophy. “They saw how important coaching is and as well as fitness,” he said.

Bloodline Netflix’s new 13 part series, Bloodline is a gripping tale of a family in crisis. The Rayburn family lives in the Florida Keys where they own a gracious plantation style hotel. Patriarch, Robert (Sam Shepherd) is admired by the community and respected by his wife Sally (Sissy Spacek), adult sons John (Kyle Chandler), Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz) and daughter Meg (Linda Cardellini), who had remained in the Keys and are still involved in the family business.

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 “sub-grids” that compose the main grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each row or column within the entire square. A partially completed grid is usually provided, which typically has a unique solution.
