Sharing similar values should be a no brainer for any couple.
And honestly, being a good communicator might not be anything more than listening without preaching.
Sometimes women just want/need to vent and not have guys try to fix it. I heard someone suggest once that the best response a man can give to a woman is “And how did that make you feel?” and just let her talk.
Honestly, just give her a hug and say something like “That must have been so hard. Let me do the dishes to help you feel better.”
The you could ask if she wants you to help fix the problem.
And what the heck does “emotionally available” mean???
Men are men and not women in men’s bodies, likewise for women. They are not the guys in a woman’s body. Both sides would to well to accommodate more often the differences in psychological make up.
Men are designed to fix things.
Asking men to not fix things is unnatural.
