Emotional Word Picture

A communication tool that may be used to help convey how you are feeling to your spouse, and to increase insight, intimacy and understanding. It is a method of clarifying thoughts and feelings so that your spouse can experience them, rather than just hear them.

An example of such an emotional word picture might be:

"Your love is like a huge glass of ice cold lemonade on a hot summer's day. It's cool and crisp and its refreshment quenches the thirst of dry, dusty soul and restores my strength".
