You don’t know if its just you, or maybe its your personality type or you have even been told, “It’s just a guy thing,” but you just don’t have the need to talk things through in detail. Put this together with the fact that your wife has the need hear every detail, and sometimes she needs to hear them over and over again to be satisfied, and you have a recipe that could cook up some problems because of poor communication.
You may even begin to feel nagged into talking. The important thing for you to do is recognize that good and regular communication is an absolute necessity for a strong and healthy marriage. Do not avoid those “can we talk?” conversations. Remember that most likely she really doesn’t know what goes on at you work, so when she asks you, “How was your day honey?” she is looking for more than just, “It was fine.” She is looking for details. Did you have any struggles? Did you have any successes? Who did you meet with? So take the initiative to go into detail. It gives her a peek inside your world and I guarantee that if you make this a regular part of your communication, it will do wonders for your relationship with your wife.
