What if many conflicts between men and women come from misunderstanding—not bad intentions?

In this episode of Discerning Marriage, Elizabeth Busby sits down with relationship researcher Allison Armstrong to explore what decades of studying men reveal about how men and women think, communicate, and experience love. They discuss why men often prioritize respect while women seek connection, how misunderstandings about feelings and support create conflict, and why chemistry alone isn’t enough for lasting love.

You’ll also hear insights on:

• The difference between chemistry and romance
• Why accountability fuels intimacy
• What men mean when they say “I don’t care”
• How couples can move toward real partnership

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, this conversation offers a hopeful vision: men and women learning to understand each other so they can truly thrive together.
