Summary of this article

 

Here is an often overlooked idea in the media's portrayal of "romance". We all need the company of groups of our own gender in order to produce a healthy hormone balance. In generations past, couples never tried to depend on each other exclusively. They did many activities in groups of their own gender.

 

God bless your family and your marriage.

The Value Of Weekly Support Groups For Women

 

By John Gray

 

One of the most powerful hormone stimulators in our lives can be a support group with members of the same sex.

 

Women's support groups have a tremendously positive effect on a woman's oxytocin levels through the tend-and-befriend path to stress reduction.

 

Just being together raises women's oxytocin levels. Scheduling a couple of hours each week to share what is going on in your life with girlfriends makes a huge difference. It could be in a reading group or a weekly bridge game. It could be going with friends to an aerobics class and stopping for coffee after. These exchanges are important in filling up your tank.

 

Women today are missing the hormonal stimulation that comes when women share, communicate, commiserate, and cooperate in a context that is not work-oriented.

 

Just talking about what is going on in your life without the intent to fix anyone or solve anything ends up being one of the most practical things you and your women friends can do.

 

Just looking forward to your meetings will sustain higher oxytocin levels.
