What You Say Isn't Always What You Mean...
Ever feel like you and your spouse are speaking two different languages? That's because you are, says Psychiatrist and Researcher Dr. Wilfred Winky and author of the book "What The Heck Are You Talking About?," which sheds light on the communication problems plaguing couples today. Here is a sample of Winky's conclusions:
