Definition: An emotional word picture is a communication tool used to help convey to your spouse how you are feeling. It is a way of clarifying your thoughts and feelings so your spouse can experience them.
Examples:
When our children were young and taking delight in experiencing something new like having a catepillar walk on the back of their hands, I felt joy, wonder, thanksgiving, and awe. There was a sense of quiet excitement to this feeling. That's the feeling I have when we work on a project together and everything turns out great!
