Communication Viruses

Arguments, humiliation, sarcasm, fault-finding, blame, judgment, ingratitude, quick reactions, comparisons with others, threats, and lies are just some of the communication viruses that can inhabit and multiply in a shared life. In biology, viruses are defined as entities that reproduce using the host cell’s resources, sometimes multiplying so rapidly that the host cells succumb to them. Successful coexistence of a man and woman under one roof requires recognizing healthy and unhealthy communication, understanding the factors that cloud their relationship, and learning the skills to resolve methodological and behavioral differences with minimal crisis. The book “Communication Viruses” is the result of the author’s thirty years of extensive counseling experience with various individuals. Readers are introduced to the definition of communication, types of communication between spouses, identification of communication viruses between partners, and solutions to eliminate these viruses. The book guides readers toward establishing healthy marital communication. The author uses stories and short narratives to clarify and make the issues more comprehensible.
