Of late, I am reminded that it is not only “what couples say to each other” but also “how they say it”, that determines the outcome of couple’s interaction. However, behind the “what” and the “how” are even the more important “inherent assumptions” that underly all verbal communication and interaction in marriage. When negative, “the mutual assumptive process” does more to undermine and destroy relationship than any other dimension in marriage.
