Introduction: Communication - The Key to a Successful Marriage

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

– George Bernard Shaw.

Ann and Rick are at Rick’s office party dinner.

Rick is freely mingling with his co-workers and is clearly popular with everyone at work, including the ladies.

Everyone wants to chat up with him and enjoy his company since he is extremely friendly and congenial.

Rick thinks Ann is enjoying herself and having a good time too, savoring the popularity of her husband. Ann, on the other hand, feels left out and ignored.

In pure jest, Rick takes a dig or two at her.

Ann feels like she’s been put down in front of Rick’s co-workers, and isn’t given enough attention or affection.

Ann starts sulking to show her displeasure. Rick doesn’t get what makes Ann so grumpy and angry.

Rick thinks maybe Ann is plain bored or tired.

Over the course of the party, Rick thinks Ann is just being difficult and seeking attention.

Both Rick and Ann now look crossed and grumpy.

On the drive back home, Rick and Ann don’t speak to each other.

Once they reach home, they simply get dressed for bed and go to sleep without saying a word to each other.

Rick confronts Ann about her conspicuously bad behavior at his office party.

Ann hurls accusations about how she felt totally ignored and belittled at the party, in the presence of his co-workers.

Rick accuses Ann of being a drama queen and a complete attention seeker.

The argument simply turns into a full-blown fight of past accusations and issues and begins to threaten their relationship.

This is pretty much what happens when communication hits a roadblock in marriages.

When couples stop talking, sharing and discussing, and start accusing or belittling each other instead, it starts spelling doom for the relationship.

Keeping communication channels open in a healthy and constructive manner is the number one building block for a successful marriage.

Think about how the above scenario could be handled differently to reach a more positive resolution.

Ann could have been more open and communicative about her concerns rather than simply sulking with the hope that Rick will notice.

When Rick noticed Ann looking all displeased, he could’ve approached her and asked her frankly what the issue was.

They could’ve spoken about it for a few minutes alone, and resolved it at the party itself rather than let it linger for a few days.

Many times married couples make the mistake of assuming that since the other person knows them well enough, he/she should guess everything they are feeling.

In addition, married couples sometimes feel that their spouse should be able to identify every pulse and heartbeat of their partner.

Sorry to burst your romantic bubble, but it doesn’t work like this in real life. The onus of conveying your feelings, emotions, and ideas to your partner is upon you, not upon them to understand all the time.

Also, communication is not just about talking about your emotions or other practical matters; it is also about being perceptive and listening to the other person.

Why do you think marriage counselors are so popular and have a long list of clients waiting to pay them for their services? Simply because they listen to disappointed folks in a non-judgmental manner.

Marriage counselors simply tune-in to how you are feeling, acknowledge your problems, offer affirmations and give you hope.

Why would couples that argue a lot need counselors if they became each other’s sounding boards?

If you already have someone at home to talk to in a frank, open, non-judgmental and nonpatronizing manner, why would you bother with inflated counseling fees?

Wouldn’t you rather spend that money (counseling fees) going out on a nice dinner date with your spouse, where you can simply talk to each other?

Talk to any expert and experienced relationship/marriage counselor and they’ll almost always list lack of communication as the number one reason why relationships go downhill after enjoying a great initial run.

At times, all a wife wants is an affirmation of being a good mother and wife.

During other times, the man wants to be assured that he measures up to his family’s wishes and expectations.

Sometimes, there are issues between couples that need to be resolved like matters concerning finances and children.

Even in the absence of majorly stressful issues, you want to have a fruitful and rewarding communication pattern with your spouse about life goals and sexual fantasies. 

Each of us has the superpower to build a happy, fulfilled, positive, nurtured and rewarding relationship.

However, only a handful of us are actually successful in creating such a dream relationship. Why?

Simply because we fail to harness the power of communication in creating a phenomenally gratifying relationship.

The couples who recognize the power of communication are the ones who lay the foundation for a powerful relationship.

It is important to state that there will always be conflicts arising out of differences. For instance, you may want to have two kids, while your spouse may insist on having three.

Similarly, one of you may desire sexual intercourse more often than the other. Sometimes, couples clash over which religion the child should follow.

Then there are issues about not fulfilling household responsibilities and roles, leading to anger and resentment.

There can be an issue about you being a cautious saver,
