Research shows that there are gender differences in the ways that men and women communicate.
These differences can keep people from effectively managing their money and achieving joint goals. These differences, of course, do not apply to all women and all men. If you experience any of these with your partner, things will work better if you develop some humorous and gracious strategies to diffuse anger when different styles cause friction. Men tend to state their needs, interests and wants, then wait for others to do the same. Women ask questions or end their sentences with questions.
