Communication

A relationship can become lifeless due to the lack of properly communicating with one another. All couples need to set sometime up to sit and talk. I do not mean trying to talk to your husband while his football game is on or the wife during her soaps. I mean uninterrupted time with no distractions. You need to share and talk about your dreams, desires, everyday problems et.. You need to ask one another how was the other’s day.

When communication with one another you need to remember the following:

Truly listen just do not nod and agree. Do not interrupt your spouse. Let them finish what they are saying before commenting. Look into your spouses yes. There is nothing more frustrating than talking to a person with their eyes darting every place around. Ask thoughtful questions not demanding ones. Take the negativity out. Do not gripe, find fault, insult et..

I Love You
