Glenn K ... nailed it! Interestingly enough, I saw this referenced in Toy Story 3 a few weeks ago.
Good ones, Oil. I will throw out some SMIRK on Wednesday.
That SMIRK is not a failure to communicate.
Lance, I memorized it as Gentiles Eat Pork Chops, originating with Kirk Taylor, I think.
Oil reminded me Wednesday night at Whataburger of the 4 bad communication/conflict resolution behaviors predictive of a failed marriage: WINE
W - Withdrawal
I - Invalidation
N - Negative Interpretation
E - Escalation
Don't do those when conflict, which is inevitable, arises.
