In the last few months, I’ve seen at least three women blog about why a husband won’t talk with his wife. All the posts were good and I ran most or all of them on Facebook and Twitter.

But every one of the posts missed one big reason men stop talking with their wives.

Many men pull back from communication because what he cares about isn’t on the table. She wants to talk about all kinds of things, but refuses to discuss the one thing, or the two or three things, that really matter to him. She vetos what he cares about, so he withdraws. It’s a rigged game and he chooses not to play.

Sex is often what he wants to talk about that she won’t talk about, but there are other things too. Regardless of what it is, if you unilaterally refuse to discuss something, you do huge damage to the communication in your marriage.
