It looks more like a self-help book for struggling couples rather than something addressing the concepts of (to use Cyan’s terms—thanks Cyan) explicit and implicit understanding.
I think the recommendation was related to the specific situation being described, more than the general point about having understanding but not putting it into practice. But I’d be surprised if it doesn’t also address the latter point; it wouldn’t be very useful without it.
