Lost in Translation: When "Fine" Doesn't Mean Fine

from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

Paul examines how common words and phrases—like "fine", "bury the hatchet", and "with all due respect"—are often interpreted differently by men and women, leading to confusion even after decades together. He highlights gendered communication patterns (hedging, indirect requests, listening cues) and offers practical insight for recognising and bridging these gaps to improve understanding in marriage.
