Men are right. The “relationship talk” does not help. Dr. Patricia Love and Dr. Steven Stosny have discovered that underneath most couples’ fights, there is a significant biological difference at work. Simply put, talking makes women move closer, but makes men move away. Even with the best of intentions, talking about your relationship doesn’t bring you closer together, and it will eventually drive you apart. How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It explains the difference and reveals the stunning truth about marital happiness:

– Love is not about better communication. It’s about connection.
– You’ll never get a closer relationship with your man by talking to him like you talk to your girlfriends.
– There are four ways to connect with a man: touch, activity, sex, routine.
– When men feel connected, they talk more.
– Male emotions are like women’s sexuality: you can’t be too direct too quickly.
