Men and women are different. Our love language is not predominantly one of self expression. There are plenty of books on this topics from linguistic professors , evolutionary psychologists, spiritual thinkers, couples counselors alike. Pico Iyer’s great love of Leonard Cohen was expressed by them sitting next to each other drinking brandy and watching the stars in silence in Cohen’s suburban backyard. Or in Merton’s silent retreats with fellow monks. .

Our band of brothers often bond in adversity and intense physical activity.

One more flavour of Anne Dillard’s quote “ The way we do anything is the way we do everything” . It’s from “Creative Act” by Rick Rubin.
