The Mind of Men and Women

Last night Andy and I were watching 27 Dresses. I have fallen ridiculously in love with the movie, and not so subtly hinted that I would be delighted if a bag of Sour Patch Kids, a 4 dollar Wal-Mart bouquet, and that particular movie were to appear in gift form in our house.

Not that I'm needy or anything.

But this isn't about that. This is about a moment during the movie when my darling husband and I realized something. Katherine Heigl's character loves looking through the wedding announcements, and Andy made a comment about it. Apparently he's never even glanced at them. I, on the other hand, read them faithfully every Sunday when I lived at my parents house (the last time I got a Sunday paper). He was curious as to the obsession, and I couldn't quite figure it out. I think I was always looking to see if I knew someone. But at the same time, I think I was also just in love with the descriptions and details. It's like hearing people's engagement stories, or romantic meet cutes. There is just something about a truly romantic moment that makes me melt inside. Andy doesn't have that need. He doesn't melt over fun stories or "Ahh" over every darling thing.

And that just explains so much.

I love learning about differences between men and women such as that one. It seems that Jeffrey and I have been doing that from the beginning and it helps the relationship so much when I can (kind of) understand where he's coming from.
