Husband of a sexual abuse victim

[Tenderbird]

Hello All,
I just found this website, podcast, and forum. I am the husband to a my wife of (four years) who just recently told me about being raped when she was in her mid-teens (she's now late twenties). I want her to be able to talk to me about it, however, usually the conversations don't go well. That is, I usually say some thing that offends her. I'm learning quickly that my role here is just to listen and accept her. So here is my request, can someone recommend any type of publication that will help me communicate with her in regard to these events?

As a side note to those who might be wondering, she does have a professional counselor whom she talks with.

Thank You,
Tenderbird
