Perhaps you need to understand exactly what they meant by that. Maybe they are referring to sicha of laytzanus or anger. If a woman needs her husband to talk to her and listen to her, and he doesn’t, then he is not putting very much into married life, is he? Hashem told Avraham Avinu to listen to all that his wife said to him. Suppose he had decided not to have that conversation with her about Yishmael. We do not live in the times of the Chazal that suggested that (is it halacha, because if so, I know an awful lot of Rabbonim who are not following what Chazal said).
