When your partner expects you to "read their mind"

Do you have a relationship problem? Sex may be the answer!

I have been reading a fascinating book lately and thought I would let you know about it. The book takes a particlarly interesting and powerful approach to helping couples work through some of the most common relationship issues. The premise of the book is that for every one of 15 common relationship problems, there are some specific sexual activities that a couple can engage in that will help to resolve the problem.

It is called, "Sex Comes First: 15 Ways to Save Your Relationship...Without Leaving Your Bedroom" by Dr. Joel Block and Kimberly Dawn Neumann. The authors highlight the 15 most common problems couples face and offer sexual solutions to each.

One of the complaints I hear from guys (and have experienced myself) is the issue of a partner who expects you to "read their mind". Of course, from the other point of view, that partner might think that if you really cared, "you should just know" what they need or want.

Here is a very insightful article from this very intriguing book. The article talks about this communication problem and it's sexual solution:
