One of the steps necessary in healing a marriage after an affair is to stop all lizard talk. What is lizard talk. Lizard talk is when communication sounds more like it is between a master and slave rather than a husband and wife. Lizard talk is dangerous whichever spouse is speaking it. When such talk occurs, it indicates that ‘reptilian’ type thinking is occurring. Such thinking is often unfeeling and cold. When you and your spouse talk. Try to listen rather than react. Listen for not only what is said, but how they say it. Does it sound like communication between two partners or where one is the master and the other is in the subservient slave role? This is beyond having one person being the head of the family, in lizard talk, there is an objectifying in the talk as well. This is where the ’slave’ spouse is often talked to as if they were a thing rather than being treated as a human being.
