Editing is a term about communication that:

1. Implies a speaker should not say everything on his or her mind

2. Suggests that the headline message is more important than all the subtext of the message

3. Suggests that the man is like the editor (i.e., head of the house) and the woman is like the reporter (generally more involved in the day-to-day information flow in the family)

4. Implies that the couple must make the presses roll by engaging in regular communication
