Mo... I never talked in analogies until I "met" you and others here, and I have to say it's had a positive effect on my marriage. I always thought I spoke in a clear way, but my H said half the time he has no idea what I am talking about,lol. He really relates to the analogy-speak, nods along and adds to it. He's big on home improvement projects, so I ty to think of analogies with that theme in mind. It doesn't come so naturally to me, but I am getting better.
