1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,160 S1: Dana asks Gary, how do I get my husband to 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,840 S1: open up more and talk to me? 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,800 S2: Well, there are people that I call Dead Seas. They 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,879 S2: receive just like the Dead Sea receives from the Jordan River, 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,440 S2: but it goes nowhere. There are those of us who 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,880 S2: receive information, receive emotions, receive experiences. But we have no 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,560 S2: compulsion to talk. And it sounds like you're probably married 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120 S2: to a dead sea. The best way to get them 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,200 S2: to talk more is to ask specific questions, and then 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,040 S2: don't condemn their answers, no matter what they say. Receive 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,200 S2: their answer. Say that's interesting. Tell me more about that. 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,880 S2: But if you make it safe for them to share 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,199 S2: and you ask specific questions, chances are they'll learn to talk. 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,240 S3: This has been a love language.
