Me Tarzan, Me Silent: Why Communication Breaks Down
One of the biggest challenges in marriage isn’t money or parenting—it’s communication.
Jane often longed for deeper conversations. She wanted Tarzan to share his thoughts, his feelings, his heart. Instead, she often got silence. One-word answers. A grunt. A shrug.
Tarzan wasn’t cruel, just quiet. But in Jane’s heart, that quiet grew louder. It felt like distance. It felt like disinterest. And over time, silence eroded more than arguments ever could.
Humor helps here: “Me Tarzan, Me Silent.” It’s the age-old joke—men of few words, women of many—but in marriage, silence isn’t funny. It’s dangerous.
The takeaway?
Silence isn’t neutral. It communicates something, even when you don’t mean it to.
Spouses need more than surface talk—they need heart talk.
Real intimacy isn’t just physical—it’s emotional honesty.
Because marriages don’t crumble from too much talking. They crumble when one—or both—stop talking at all.
