First comes love, then comes miscommunication. Do you ever feel that you and your spouse aren’t compatible? Do
you ever complain that your spouse doesn’t understand you? You’re not alone. Many couples report miscommunication
as their biggest problem. Maybe you can remember a time when your spouse and you were on the same page - you
communicated your love effectively. Was that a long time ago? Marriage expert and award-winning author H. Norman
Wright shows you how to regain your closeness. In How to Speak your Spouse’s Language, you can learn to
turn communication into joyful interaction.
Do you know the crucial four minutes for communication? A positive or negative relationship is built in two
specific time frames: the four minutes at the start of your day and the four minutes when you reunite at the end
of the day. Wright says you can transform your relationship with positive, daily actions in those eight minutes.
You might fill the morning with grumpy silence, commandeering breakfast, or effectively scheduling the day. Are
you a silent partner, a commander, or an efficiency expert?
Now, look at what happens at the end of your day. Are those four minutes filled with news, the kids’
misbehavior, or minimal talking? Wright suggests respecting one another’s space, even taking some time to
transition from work to home. After the transition, you can approach each other with love and closeness.
What would you like to share with your spouse? Do you have an important subject to discuss? Agree on a daily
time which you discuss serious matters. When you are both relaxed and prepared, you can decide on important
topics.
Have you noticed your spouse’s key words? By listening to types of words, you will find how your spouse
receives information. As an example, a visual person will use the words look, see, and show. One secret to great
communication is to use the other person’s key words when talking.
Wright teaches you how to understand verbal and nonverbal communication, to speak your partner’s language, to
learn good listening habits, to build common ground and to understand feelings - among other key lessons. These
lessons can improve any relationship in which you want better communication. Readers will be amazed at the ease
of the book, its clear examples, quick lessons, and chapter-end questions or "energy builders". Wright introduces
solid concepts with a fresh focus.
