If you can't talk, write

"My wife knows....when I am on business travels, I will never call her," Lee said in the midst of a traffic jam in cow-infested Delhi

This will come as a great shock to you, but men and women are different. A woman has a need and the sensitive partner meets that need through significant and insignificant small talk; and he listens with interest as she shares her feelings.

As a matter of fact, Chris once asked when a man should tell his wife he loved her. The wit responded, "before someone else does!" In another case, there was a man who hadn't told his wife he loved her in over 20 years and then killed the man who did!

For people who do not verbalize very well, I would like to remind you that you apparently verbalized well enough before you were married to persuade her to marry you. This indicates that your ability to communicate is not the problem. Your lack of interest or even unwillingness to communicate is the major problem.
