Trip to psychiatrist. Communication Oatmeal. Two or four lane road. Disillusioned wife. Lie about other things. Klopman Diamond. Charlie Shedd. Two Heads illustration.

By that I mean changing unhealthy styles of communication and developing new and more effective styles of communication, learning how to communicate with each other. A covenant marriage is a lifetime, intimate relationship that is built on mutual acceptance and understanding between husband and wife.
