5 Tips for Communication In a Marriage
Many of you might even wonder what is the big deal about communicating with your husband after marriage? Why is it difficult and why do I even need to learn new techniques? Well, the ugly truth is that if your communication in a marriage is not up to the mark, things may take an ugly turn. Hence, there arises the need to work on your communication in marriage. Listed here are some important lessons on effective communication in a marriage.
1. Listen first, and then talk!
Don’t we all die to express our opinions and convince others that what we have to say is right? Well, that is not the right attitude, we tell you! You must listen to what your partner has to say. You cannot interrupt and cut short your partner, every time he/she wishes to express his/her views. Communication in a marriage is about listening too!
2. Put forth sensible arguments
You cannot argue just for the sake of arguing. Some people enjoy fighting with their partner. This may sometimes lead to unhealthy arguments and spoil the relationship. So before arguing or putting across your views, think twice. Communication in a marriage has to be sensible and sensitive.
3. Focus on your body language
It is important to express your thoughts and views in a cordial manner, and it’s not just your voice that is important in this case. Facial expressions, eye contact and tone also play a major role in communicating well. Even an order can come out as a persuasive request when conveyed in the right manner. Similarly, even a request can come out as an order if not done rightly.
