Any marriage counsellor can tell you the most common complaint they hear from wives is: “He doesn’t talk to me any more.”
When couples are dating they spend hours on the phone, talking and laughing together, completely losing track of time. But too often something happens just a couple of years into the marriage. They find themselves with nothing to talk about.
Communication is crucial to the success of a marriage, yet many guys are wired to keep to themselves. It’s not that they’re bored with their spouse; they just don’t understand the importance of sharing their thoughts and feelings.
If this describes your marriage, then do something about it. Guys, make a concerted effort to talk to your wives. Talk about nothing or everything – it doesn’t really matter.
The key is to start communicating again. And wives, find a way to draw your husbands out, even if it means talking about football or race cars.
Don’t let silence suffocate your marriage.
