Ok, Ladies, it is your turn in the hot seat. this post may be for you. This is a great article by Dustin at Engaged Marriage. It is a great reminder of the importance of verbal communication. Regardless if you are traveling or writing up the grocery list. (Most) Men can’t read minds.
From the article, “If you have to tell him that you really like the Russian White paint color for the shelves worlds better than that putrid Eggshell White option, he just doesn’t even know you. I mean seriously, how can the man you love be so darn thick sometimes?
