Ladies, do you wish someone would have told you the things you had to learn the hard way about men? I don’t know about you, but I wish I’d known the things I’m going to tell you when I was first married. If you know how men think and become fluent in their language, your marriage or relationship is just exponentially stronger.

So for those who have a strong desire to understand men, I’m going to discuss in this episode six things you need to know about men that can literally change the entire course of your relationship. Ready? Here we go.

1. Men are easy to please and quick to forgive.

2. A man’s identity is inextricably linked to his ability to provide and protect.

3. Men can only concentrate on one thing at a time.

4. Men need time to process their emotions. Leave them alone while they do.

5. Men don’t like to fight with women.

6. Men don’t just want sex—they need it.
