If you're married, no doubt one of you is more of a talker than the other, am I right?

0:04.5

What's that?

0:06.4

Just say yes.

0:08.4

And that's it.

0:09.1

And some are listeners and some aren't.

Yeah, there's going to be some asymmetry when it comes to communication skill, communication

0:18.2

propensity, communication desire. And so today we're actually going
