How to Sweet Talk Your Girl

"Mastering the language of intimacy requires that you really be in tune with your partner's needs, but you also should understand your own needs--and be able to communicate them as well," says psychotherapist Robi Ludwig, host of the TLC television show "One Week To Save A Marriage."
