My wife and I never aurgue. Guess what, she does not think I stand up to her. In my effort to please her, I have pretty much never voiced my own opinion or feelings. I am finding that is probably wrong. I think women want to know what is going on inside you weather it is good OR bad. I tend to bottle all emotions inside me. I have read a book about women that I want to read again that I think is very helpful to understanding what women want in a realtionship with a man. Here is a link to it What Women want men to know.
I will admit that me understanding women is like amatuer hour. I think that what I understand is that women want to share what is in your thoughts, GOOD OR BAD. They like this more then NOT being informed. They want to SHARE your feelings. So by not telling the wife when differences do arise, they start to feel like they can walk all over you is my guess. The way to sex is through their heart and mind.
Funny thing about this book is that the author wrote a very good book on how to understand men. The book on understanding women is at LEAST 4 times the size of the book for understanding men. Women have the easy part in relationships, at least with us HD guys, they just need to feed us and give us great sex. Us guys on the other hand have to be good at everything that is NOT sex, in effect, EVERYTHING else. LOL!
