Abstract
For effective communication, both what we say and how we say it are important. Becoming aware of the pleases that are wanted by a spouse is a tremendous step forward in the communication process, but knowing what to say without the ability to transmit the message can transform intended pleases into bombshells. In this chapter we explore the skills of listening and expressing that determine personal effectiveness and marital satisfaction.
