This week on Couple Things, we talk about some of the things that we have learned over the past 5 years of marriage as it pertains to communication. We aren't professionals, but we want to pass along some things that have worked for us and really upgraded how we communicate with each other.

Here are some of the topics that we cover:

saying thank you instead of I’m sorry

monthly check-ups/ having a system

expectations when your partner is away

the importance of accurate ETA’s

meeting your partner halfway in conversation

the harm of blanket statements

owning your mistakes

being aware of your mood

always try to have a conversation

using your words wisely

being involved in your partner's excitement

your tone
