Stats: https://www.nydailynews.com/life-styl..."Common wisdom says that women are more hurt by problems in a relationship," lead researcher Robin Simon, a Wake Forest University sociologist, told ABC News. "But we found that the benefits of support [in a relationship] and the disadvantages of strain are exaggerated for the men." When hurt, women are likely to become depressed while men tend to engage in substance use or abuse, according to Simon. And the more problems a guy faces in a relationship, the higher he tended to score on a substance abuse scale. Psychologist and author Frances Cohen Praver believes the emotional gender difference could be due to the fact that women are actually less sensitive to the issues. "Women are more naturally expressive," Audrey Nelson, author of "Code Switching: How to Talk so Men Will Listen," told ABC News. "We'll cry, show our feelings – when a woman is having a hard time, she has two or three friends she can talk to, to ease the pain. Men have the same feelings and emotions, but they have no outlet." Word of the Day / Definition: Sepulchral – Serious or sad and rather frightening. Scripture: Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV) “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
