What we have to realize with communication is men and women communicate differently. A lot of times women want their men to communicate the same way they communicate with other women and vise versa. Women enjoy the process of reaching a goal, while men want to get the goal as soon as possible, forget the process. Though men and women are different, we are yet the same. The same time, effort, and attention it took for a man to date his significant other long term is the same he needs to keep her feeling secure and happy within the relationship. Communication is meant to be a blessing in a marriage, not a torment. I believe conflicting expectations are the source of most unhappiness in marriage. With that said, what it boils down to is through sickness and in health, for richer and/or poorer, rather it's based on finances, communication or sex, marriage requires devotion and a mature ability to commit when it's the last thing you want to do.

When seen through the eyes of love, communication is the lifeline for any marriage. Period.
