LOVE
UNDERSTANDING
YOUR PARTNER
If something made you cry when you were a child, your
experience was probably a little something like this:
IF YOU WERE A BOY: you would cry, then go to your
parents for some comfort, and would hear something
along the lines of: “Stop crying! You’re a man! Men don’t
cry. Stop crying now.”
IF YOU WERE A GIRL: you would cry, then
go to your parents for some comfort, and
would hear something along the lines of: “Aw.
What happened sweetie? Come here and tell
me all about it…” You would be cuddled and
showered with love and affection until you had
stopped crying.
Happy relationships don’t just happen,
you make them happen.”
