The Relationship Between Man and Woman

It is clear to see that men and women are very different physically. This can be determined by weight, shape, size and anatomy. It is these physical differences that have advantageous functions for both persons as well as survival importance. However, the psychological differences tend to be less obvious, but are profoundly important as they show how men and women respond differently to a variety of situations and how men and women act differently in relationships between friends, between their children, and between each other.
