Startling Differences

My friends Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore have survived a terrible ordeal, something which threatened their marriage and drove them to prayer on many occasions. It was traumatic, and – as they describe it – is something they hope will never, ever happen again.

They wrote a book together.

Now, I am smiling as I write this, because the Larimores characterized that book project just as I described it for you. It was really, really hard for them. The book isn’t about some crisis, it isn’t about something so painful they had never before talked about it. The book is about the differences between men and women.

Listen in and learn what those differences are and how they show up in your marriage – and how you can make the best of them. Especially if you are thinking of writing a book with your spouse.

    I grow weary of this same old balderdash about “differences between men and women”. Many of the alleged differences are completely mythical. For example, remember the claim, often made during the ’90s, that women talk twice as much as men? It was proven bunk.

    And even if certain general differences do exist, they are probabilistic, not absolute. As a wise man once said, “Social science research has only ever proven one thing. Some do, and some don’t.”
