"Talk with women friends" refers to a woman's need to connect in a verbal way that men may not understand. Michele points out that women often want to talk about feelings, have a tendency to move quickly from one topic to the next ( and back again) and are sometimes dissatisfied with men's topics which may seem boring or trivial. So instead of expecting our spouses to engage in a certain type of talk, she suggests getting this need filled with your women friends, preventing further disappointment in the marriage.
BTW... I saw on your thread you didn't feel a need for MC now that things are better... I think that doing what I am doing, watching a tape with H, is a nice way to get some marital pointers without feeling you need serious "treatment." My H and I were remarking that we should have done something like this yrs ago. I like the marriage encounter suggestion, and that UL seminar Lillieperl is signed up for with her b/f sounds interesting, too.
