What Georgie took away from the book

As a married man I feel like this is a lesson most good husbands learn at some point or the marriage is doomed. Tho Georgie articulated it poorly. Women do want to share their problems with their man, but often they don't want their man to solve their problem. They simply want him to listen, understand the problem, and share in their emotions. Being heard help gives them the strength to solve it themselves. If my wife actually wants me to fix a problem she simply asks me to.

Mandy struggling with her self worth is something I feel like most women still struggle with today. Many women feel judged by society and not enough if they are a stay at home mom. Or if they work and have no kids they feel judged for that. Or if they do both they might feel like they do neither to the level they should and still beat up on themselves. Regardless of which path my wife has taken throughout our marriage I support her and love her in a way that at least has me trying to tell her shes more than enough. Men tend to not judge themselves nearly as harshly for some reason. If we work and provide we feel adequate enough. That might have something to do with how single minded we can be so we simply worry about less usually. All and all my point is that men and women tend to think differently and you should always do your best to consider what your partner thinks and feels to actually try and help them the way they want to be helped. I cant speak for all men, but me personally I just want to be told im loved, told shes proud of the effort and work I put in and that shes happy. Thats all I want/need to be more than happy.

Good luck to everyone in their marriages out there. I like how this show brings different aspects of marriage to light.
