Verbal Intercourse: a Darkly Humorous Novel of Interpersonal Couples and Family Communication

Verbal Intercourse is about issues of communication between family members. Laugh darkly when marriage arrives like a tantrum. Humor and suspense are found in a family's verbal intercourse when we look at habits of how we talk and listen. When men and women communicate with each other, it's through ritual. We roll our eyes in contempt, make gestures, use body language to intimidate or make the next person feel important and good. This book is about the convergence of verbal intercourse. It's the way husbands and wives communicate that shortens or lengthens their days of health and joy. Look at the body language. Verbal Intercourse is about the effects one partner has on the significant other through words, looks, and body language. For the wife who says her husband doesnt listen or doesnt talk, and for the husband who says his wife talks about the same subjects, for the children who bank their patterns of verbal intercourse to spend on the next generation, it can be expressed as humor. No matter how dark the satire or comedy, verbal intercourse is hillarious, because to take life serious starts by laughing at the patterns in nature that seem to spiral into wedding rings and recurring patterns. This is a tale of interpersonal communication--the way we talk and listen.
