aisha2: Oya type to him na when he is home. As you work on talking start with typing and gisting.  I thought of that already. But it is kind of funny and weird. We may have to start with no phone,iPad,or tablet rule |

aisha2: True, social media makes strangers seem more interesting and intriguing than the real people we have around us. When you and hubby are at home or out on a date, please dont touch your phones, touch each other and talk to each other. good idea for a new house rule. I will suggest this to him let me see what he thinks of it. |

Matthewbriggs: In addition use the same energy you use in engaging in online conversations, debating and fraternizing with people who really do not care about you in the e-world ... and focus that energy offline. Channel that energy in building a really strong rappor with your spouse.
If not handled carefully technology has a way of alienating us from people who care about us and can stand in our way of building formidable human connections with people that matter in our lives .
#JustSaying true that. Do you know that when he's even at work and we are romancing online,i find myself opening up more than when we are face to face. Like typing is waaay easier for me than talking. It is really something that I need to work on. Not just with him anyway. I've lost count of the number of times my twin sis will say to me "you're so quiet and boring" She's my exact opposite. If they all didn't love me and understand me,they would probably think I'm a snob. |

moca: Cococandy, come let me couch u 
I was worst than u cos of my upbringing not necessary my nature. I hadly voice out. So many bottled up emotions and things that need at least a yes or no from me that when I exploded, it was shocking. Thank God it was immediately after my marriage. After that day, I decided to be as open as the express way. I don't know if I hv secrets at all. Hubby on d other hand don't like being open. Infact, u hv to be a judge to extract info from him. I will plobe and plobe, I also read body language though that doesn't work at times. Now d only thing he doesn't tell me is if he wanna surprise me maybe with gigts or some special things.
Pls, talk,even if its about patience ozorkwor and her mother in law roles, that is how u will learn more about ur spouse even if ur gist doesn't make sense. I learnt d hard way. i will do my best henceforth. |

jaybee3: It's really easy ya know
Interest=>Determination=>Result
Show interest in the things he loves doing Go with an open mindset because you are determined to achieve the desired result
If you enjoy cooking then invite him into the kitchen when you are cooking his favorite meal If he enjoys soccer then endure the 90 minutes with him then ask questions about the game
Couples have to go extra length to make their marriage work and this is simply part of it.
Look at it this way, if you don't talk to him someone else will almost certainly keep him company be it online or work thank you.  |

jaybee3: My worry is you create more problems for yourself in the long run with this your preferred modus operandi
What happens if he suddenly stops asking/teasing things out from you due to unforeseen outside stress? Does that mean you going to start worrying about him not loving you?
If the absent of effective communication is one of the key problems in relationships then why not try to avoid it at all times it is not really a modus operandi per say because I didn't deliberately choose to be like that. It is a part of my nature that I didn't realize will be a problem once I began to share my life with someone else. Now I know and I'm working on it. I've come to a point where I say something or ask questions if I find that keeping quiet leaves me or him in the dark.(most of the time) But I'm still to master the art of chitchat. How to have regular fun gist. And that's the part he's more concerned about. So help me God. |

damiso: Nagging and talkative can be two different things. I know I rarely ever nag but I sometimes tend to be the one intiate conversations that hubby would rather not have e.g does pink go with this top which is often met with rolling eyes and 'yes' even though he is not seeing the top. mine wishes I would initiate such convo. |

jaybee3: There is obviously an extreme scale to each trait. An extremely quiet wife could be dangerous. Restricting to your shell is counter-productive as you are most likely not going to share the things that bothers your mind. True this. I'm not really good at sharing my worries or concerns. In a subconscious way,it is me not wanting to bother him or disturb him. Maybe I should learn to put them in writing. Lol On the flip side,it gives him good excuse to tease me. "How are you going to discipline the kids if you can't even raise your voice and talk"?  |

jaybee3: The key is the personally trait of the other half If he is extroverted then the balance is just about right.
You can't have effective communication with two raging parrots in the house. If the wive is a nag then the husband must be a good listener. you know most guys don't talk too much. So when the woman in the house is not bringing forth gist and spicy conversation,it is like there's this silent pressure for him to try pull me out of my shell thereby making him talk more than he normally would. In a way,I feel a talkative wife better pass this one but I can't help myself. People who have known me from childhood are used to it. I just feel like guys should stop complaining about nagging wives. They don't know what they have until they are with silent janes like us. |

Gentlemen I've a question.
I've heard Everyman complain about wives who nag and talk too much like it is the worst thing a man has to put up with in marriage.
But my case is the opposite. I'm very very quiet and have this knack to withdraw into myself most times. And he does complain.
Which is better? A constantly nagging wife or a quiet-as-a-mouse wife who let's you do all the talking. |
