The Quiet Boyfriend and the Twelve Year Silence
A reader asks about a shy partner who never speaks his thoughts. The response notes introversion as a temperament, citing that about 15 percent of children are genetically predisposed to be reserved and that many stay that way. It warns marriage may not change him and offers advice on conversation and mutual understanding.

James Dobson compares conversation to players tossing balls, noting that ongoing dialogue requires both sides to return meaningful remarks. He counsels pushing for intimate sharing with a future spouse and outlines how open expression strengthens marriage. Dobson is president of Focus on the Family. See Solid Answers from Tyndale House.
