Tools To Enhance Couple Communication

1) Be aware of your feelings. Good communication starts with understanding yourself.

2) Understand the other person's point of view. You cannot communicate your point of view without understanding where the other person is coming from.

3) Spend at least 15 minutes of quality time each day catching up with each other.

4) Timing is important. It's best to talk about important issues when both are rested, sober and ready for a serious talk. It's wise to avoid serious discussions when you are tired, or too angry.

5) Respectful tones are helpful. Your tone of voice and body language communicate more than your words.

Good communications is one of the keys to a strong and happy marriage. When difficulties in communication are not dealt with, they can breed further complications. The good news is that communication skills can be learnt and help is available. A skilful therapists will know when and how to help a couple switch from the tango to the waltz, thereby helping them to harmonise, tally and bring into line faulty communication patterns.
Strong marriages don't just happen. Like the many important things in life, it takes commitment, effort and skills.
Marriages is an ongoing conversation with the one you love.
