HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - Love was in the "Marne Air" as the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade hosted a Strong Bonds program event Feb. 14-16 at the Sonesta Resort on Hilton Head Island, S.C.

Strong Bonds is a chaplain-led program for commanders, which builds relationship resiliency. Strong Bonds increases soldier and family readiness through relationship education and skills training.

Maj. Gregory Jackson, chaplain, just recently arrived at his new assignment here as the chaplain for the 3rd CAB, and this was his first Strong Bonds event with the unit.

"It's a great way for couples to do a little maintenance on their marriage," said Jackson.

The retreat featured a video seminar called "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage," which was hosted by Pastor Mark Gungor. Gungor is senior pastor of Celebration Church-a multi-site church with five campuses across Wisconsin-and the chief executive officer of Laugh Your Way America.

The first session was called "A Tale of Two Brains" and outlined the different ways that men and women think about life. Gungor used humorous metaphors to describe the male brain describing it as a series of boxes where nothing intersects and everything has its own compartment. Gungor described the "nothing box" as a place where men go after a hard day's work. That is where men go to think about, and often, do nothing.

Men are really great at doing one thing really well, said Gungor. We have this really outstanding ability to handle one thing at a time with great focus.

Conversely, women are the ultimate multi-taskers. Gungor humorously illustrated how a woman can be cooking something, folding a load of laundry, caring for a child, and all the while holding up their end of the conversation on the telephone, not forgetting one single detail while doing it.

That's where the conflict emerges.

If a woman can do five things at once, and a man can usually handle one thing real

Comments: I read this book for 2 reasons – because I’m getting married and because I loved Gungor’s famous YouTube video on men’s and women’s brains. The book was okay – very good in parts and pretty okay for the most part.

Gungor is occasionally scientific and structured but for the most part it centers around his observations as a pastor. I also think it didn’t help that he wrote this for Christians. There were way too many bible, Jesus references for a non Christian.

Top 3 Learnings:

1. Boxed in (watch Mark Gungor’s famous nothing box video on YouTube for this section). Men’s brains are like boxes – they are dealt with one at a time and DO NOT TOUCH. And a man’s favorite box is the nothing box… Given a choice, we love the nothing box and hence, love staring into the ceiling.

This is contrast to a woman’s brain which is like a bunch of wires and is typically thinking of many things at once.

2. Communication. When men communicate, they say what they mean and mean what they say. Women, on the other hand, are masters of nuance. Words are just one part of communication. So, in a women case, what is said matters less than how it is said.
The way to get past this is to implement the Covey principle of understanding – seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

3. What men want: Respect – unconditional respect. Men don’t want to earn respect on performance. They want it because of who they are. They don’t want criticism or women to change them – they want to be loved as they are. But just because men aren’t resistant to improvement doesn’t mean they can’t be improved, a women’s effect on a man’s maturity, cleanliness, etc is always massive. Strong women make a huge di
