Accept your spouse for who they are.

Men and women communicate differently, and accepting this is key. While it may not be easy to change how you think and feel, it is easy to change your

perspective. Accept who they are and how they best communicate.

Feed each others love languages.

Make sure you figure out each others love languages and then USE them.

There are so many different ways, and most importantly, everyone is different.

For many it is in gifts. For others it is all about physical touch and affection.

When you feel loved, it is much easier to increase quality communication.

Leave emotions at the door.

This is easier said than done for both men and women, but sometimes

you just need to get logical about things. Yes, emotions are at

the key of most relationships, but there

are many situations where you need to

check your emotions at the door and listen to your spouse and their

thoughts from a logical calm point of view.

Leave the past behind you.

Make an agreement that each conversation will be about the

here and now. Leave past grievances where they are – in

the past. While you may wish to proceed with caution, avoid the

urge to bring up past indiscretions or arguments. Instead, focus on the good

things and the current situation as it stands alone.

Put down your phone!

This is one of the biggest issues in communicating with your spouse. We forget that to do so, we need to focus on them. Our phones, computers, televisions and tablets have become attached to our hips. When it is time to get serious with your spouse, give them your full attention. Meaning:

put away electronics and focus exclusively on them!

Desiring better communication with your spouse is something we should all strive for. No matter how many years you have been

together, there is always room to change and grow. It is important that you focus on each other and continue to learn how to reach

each other in the best way possible.
