Top 10 Emotional Needs: Episode 3: Conversation

In this episode, Herson and Valerie "Valson" talk about how they have navigated around each other's high emotional need for meaningful conversation giving humorous and sometimes very touching anecdotes.  

Show Notes:

Good conversation is characterized by the following: (1) using it to inform and investigate each other, (2) focusing attention on topics of mutual interest, (3) balancing the conversation so both have an equal opportunity to talk, and (4) giving each other undivided attention while talking to each other.

Conversation fails to meet this need when (1) demands are made, (2) disrespect is shown, (3) one or both become angry, or (4) when it is used to dwell on mistakes of the past or present.

Some of this material is from the book "His Needs Her Needs: Building A Marriage That Lasts"
