Sex and family therapist, Princessa Aggrey has advised couples to learn to be comfortable around each other and communicate no matter how difficult or hurtful the issue is.

According to her, a spouse is not an ‘assistant Holy Spirit’ to understand or read the mind, which is why communication is a key component in a relationship or marriage.

"I will keep shouting from the rooftop, your spouse is not assistant Holy Spirit, your spouse is not a mind reader," she indicated.

Discussing 'rekindling intimacy after childbirth’ with Patricia Rockson Hammond on GhanaWeb TV’s Moans and Cuddles, Princessa Aggrey emphasised the need for individuals to adopt the right approach to communicating with their spouse.

She said that an offensive approach to communication may derail the process and advised couples to communicate with love.

"I always tell ladies, when you want to talk to a man don't say we need to talk, their brain goes into the defensive and everything you say is an attack, whether is good or not good, when it is something beneficial to them, when you start with we need to talk, the man’s brain goes to the defensive.

"Communicate with love, how you communicate something matters a lot, the approach you use matters a lot," she said.

She suggested that couples can discuss important issues while engaging in routine activities such as taking a walk, sharing a meal, or having casual conversations.
