Communication in Marriage: The Art of Positive Communication and How to Overcome Conflicts in Relationships and Grow Together

By Rina Mcnally

Communication builds up your relationship. Lack of it can keep partners apart, and over time, partners can lose affection and feelings for one another, even as they live under the same roof. Communication is the nourishment of relationships and not just in marriage relationships. Relating with your coworkers, friends, families, kids, and parents demand some amount of effective communication and of a certain quality. 

 

"Some things need to be discussed, or you may not be able to achieve peace."  

Your focus in the workplace depends on whether you have come to a conclusion with your spouse about an issue that is bugging your relationship or not. The ability to be productive depends on your active communication. This kind of communication includes "an apology", precision or completion. Talking or listening effectively at the moment is very important in allowing yourself to have an exclusive focus on the next task. 

Health-wise, effective communication reduces your stress level. In older couples, the cases of high blood pressure are reduced, as couples will have less to worry about once issues are being discussed effectively. Once tension is resolved, anxieties will be eliminated, and trust can be built. For this to become possible, couples must be able to tell each other anything; they must be able to consciously rely on each other when they need someone to understand them.

The future is only safe when there is a healthy communication between couples. The more satisfaction derived from today's conversation, the better openness and honesty you will get in tomorrow's conversation. The record of success is very important to the confidence you will have in each other as you communicate. 

This book is devoted to providing a very detailed look at how to acquire a life free from difficult communication in marriage, as well as providing beginner's and advanced information on how to successfully overcome difficult communication.

Introduction

Communication is the foundation of any good relationship. Strong marriage intimacy may not be possible without effective communication between spouses. Even the marriage that is falling apart can be saved when communication is applied effectively. In the history of marriage, the bad habit of lack of communication contributes to 80 percent of the problems faced by couples.

Negative influences and forces can easily affect the perception of a good marriage when communication is ignored.

The importance of effective communication cannot be overemphasized. Mistakes that may destroy your relationship can only be avoided when issues are communicated and when both partners understand each other to a reasonable level.

An individual in a committed relationship needs a continuous affirmation that will encourage his or her performance even in the midst of financial struggle. A husband needs to feel appreciated and affirmed for being a good husband and father. He needs to feel that his effort is paying off by actually providing satisfaction and happiness in the family.

Since his wife is the most important party in terms of expectations and desires, the affirmation must come from her. This is easily communicated through the providence of assurance and physical affection on a regular basis.

Criticism and worries should only be expected when a mistake is made, and forgiveness to follow afterward. Right within the marriage atmosphere, the individual needs to have a safe haven for personal improvement, even as they grow to love their spouses.

A wife needs to feel safe and secure. She practically needs are husband to listen and understand her without trying to solve each and every problem. As she pursues a given goal, she needs him as a support system.

She needs to have the assurance that she can be herself, be faulty and human, without being criticized all the time. She needs her husband to be able to talk to her with kind words so that she will feel the courage to rise up even when she fails.

In general, everyone needs some encouragement from a significant other in order to do better. The better communication works with encouragement instead of criticism. Fairly, every situation that provides an opportunity for criticism can be turned into encouragement.

By doing such, you won’t only maintain a reasonable intimacy, but you will continue to win your spouse’s heart over and over again. The best thing in marriage is when your spouse depends on you for both physical and emotional security. And this only becomes possible through effective communication.

Your spouse needs to be validated all the time. So, the first baby steps in improving your marriage communication are intent listening and gentleness. Let their positive emotions be aligned to your positive actions and behaviors.

You need to be in the position to encourage their potentials, to see their weakness as strengths. Growth, which is very important in terms of long-term relationship, becomes possible. Also, change from a particular phase of understanding to another becomes easier.

Reinforcement is not the only benefit of positive words. It is all about selfless appreciation of ones feature; to love and appreciate even when other people ignore. It also entails noticing a less significant characteristic in your partner, and to encourage them to never take what they have for granted. The aim is to influence positively your spouse’s approach to life, the marriage and any other thing that concern them.
