When You Tripped Up When Troy’s mother was dying, he lived a couple hours away and his twin sister was providing the majority of the care for their mother.  He tripped up when he made light of all that his sister was doing to care for their mother.  And until he stepped into her shoes and provided the care himself, he didn’t truly understand.

What women need to know about men… Men are different.  We think differently.  We behave differently.  So ladies seek to understand from his perspective first before condemning him. Embrace those differences instead of fighting them. What most men don’t know about women… A lot of women see a man being vulnerable as strength.  But men don’t know that, so we think we have to be hard and tough and seem so strong all the time. What’s really sexy to a lot of women is when a man can be more vulnerable, because she sees security in that.  To a woman vulnerability is not weakness, it’s intimacy.
