Quotation 1 - Dr. James Fuller Jr., PhD, LCSW

" The beginning and the ending of dialogue and the erotic are indistinguishable and interwoven in a self-perpetuating pattern of reciprocal, intimate, gendered communication" - Dr. James Fuller, Jr.

My interpretation of this statement by Dr. Fuller is that communication needs to be a complete circle that touches on every aspect of the relationship and meets the needs of both parties. I also believe that in this statement he is indicating that communication does not have to be verbal, it can be in your touch, or the way that you look at someone. Regardless of the method of communication it is also important to remember that each and every aspect co-mingle and are not separate from one another. So what happens in the kitchen most definitely carries over to the bedroom!
Due to the fact that these important aspects of relationships are so closely related, it is important to remember that everything that we communicate to one another will affect every aspect of our relationships with each other. An argument over the children will undoubtedly affect how things are handled in other areas of your relationship.
By taking care with the words that we use with each other, the actions will take care of themselves. Never use demeaning or degrading language with your spouse because all though words can’t break bones, they can break a heart. Also remember that once you have said something that you can never take it back, it can be forgiven but never forgotten.
