Why Does My Husband Try to Fix My Problems Instead of Just Listening to Me?

Learn why husbands often try to fix their wives’ problems instead of just listening, and learn how men and women process challenges differently. Emerson unpacks this common marital misunderstanding with humor and insight, offering practical tips for couples to bridge the gap between “pink and blue” perspectives. Perfect for spouses seeking stronger communication and deeper connection.

Questions to Consider

  1. How can you better recognize when your spouse needs a listening ear versus a solution?
  2. What steps can you take to affirm your spouse’s intentions, even when their approach feels off?
  3. How do your expectations of communication reflect your own “pink” or “blue” perspective?
  4. What’s one way you can practice asking, “Do you need a solution or just a listening ear?” in your relationship?
