Communication
Not listening is a relationship disease. It can kill your love and
marriage. Millions of relationships have already died from this
disease, and what is so sad is that it is completely curable. Many
of us have this disease and we don't even know it. The disease can
eat away at your marriage while you move through your life naively
unaware that danger is just around the corner.

David Clarke, author of Cinderella
Meets the Caveman
You've got to be clear with a man; painfully clear. He's
not going to pick up on the clues or the subtleties. Many
times women will press too hard, too soon in a conversation.
Boom! Game over. When a man feels controlled and pressured,
forget it. He's not going to talk to you. These are things
women need to pick up on and if they do, you can get very
close to him. You can train a man to actually engage with
you.

Emerson Eggerichs, author of
Cracking the Communication Code
The person who wants to have that loving and respectful
relationship needs to realize that you must talk the Jesus
way. The reason I say the Jesus way is because Paul said,
you did not learn Christ this way —you learned him this
way. In other words, Paul had taught them how Jesus had taught.
There we see truthful speech, uplifting speech, forgiving
speech, thankful speech, and scriptural speech. In the book,
Cracking the Communication Code, we encourage the follower
of Christ that there is a Jesus way of talking.

Greg Smalley, author of The
DNA of Relationships
When you want your mate to clearly and accurately understand
your "order," you should use the "drive-through talking" method.
One of you becomes the customer and the other becomes the
employee. As the customer, you first explain your feelings
or needs by using "I feel" statements —as opposed to
"You make me feel...." remarks. It's also necessary to use
short sentences so your mate can repeat back precisely what
you are communicating.
