Summary: It is commonly said that women are more emotional then men. But research shows that our capacity to feel emotions is no different; it's our ability or willingness to express emotion that's different. <br> <br> In our society women are taught to express their feelings while men are taught to mask or conceal them. We are also taught that certain emotions such as anger or pride are more "masculine" and these unspoken rules affect how men and women convey their emotions. It's not that we are different in our emotional experiences- we are just taught different things about emotions.<br> <br> Learning to express your emotions more clearly is a vital part of growing together as a couple. This involves learning to identify where your emotions are coming from and finding a way to communicate them appropriately. Men are just as capable of doing this as women, given the chance to learn.<br>
