“We need to talk." she says."The four most dreaded words in the history of marriage.”
“We talked for four hours. Well, I talked for four, and she listened for two. ”

“Betsy did not answer. She was a talker, her family always said, but sometimes when she most wanted to talk she couldn't say a word.”
“When she is happy, she can't stop talking, when she is sad she doesn't say a word.”
“We need to send our words out in the direction we want them to go. In other words, we need to start talking victory when we’re staring at defeat. We need to start talking healing when we’re feeling sick. We need to start blessing and prosperity when we don’t have anything. We need to speak about marching when we feel like quitting.”
