Better Communication, Better Relationship

Lack of communication can quickly destroy a healthy relationship.  Most couples long to be heard and understood by their significant other.  Couples that flourish spend time talking on a daily basis.  If you desire to improve your communication with your significant other, I would suggest you try these simple techniques:

1. Try to spend 30 minutes a day, every day, talking and sharing your feelings and listening to their feelings. If you can’t do 30 minutes, start with at least 15 minutes a day.
2. Do not try to fix, change, or challenge the other person’s thoughts and feelings.
3. Please listen, to understand the other person’s feelings.

Hopefully, these small tips can help you Better your Communication, so you can have a Better Relationship!
