Men and women co-exist and complement each other though they have differences at a physical and emotional level. The physical differences are rather obvious and have a functional value topped with survival advantage. These differences are in terms of body, strength, skin type etc.

The psychological differences between men and women are similar to their physical differences but much less times confusing to describe. Yet, these relationships. They can have a profound impact on how we form and maintain a relationship from marriage to work, friendship to parenting and extended family to neighbours and so on.

Relationships are never easy. They can be blissful or take a nasty turn depending on what one expects from it. It also depends on how invested both the genders are in their relationship, for example, couples who have been married for a long time.
