How To Encourage A Spouse To Open Up
How can I encourage my spouse to open up?
The best way to encourage you partner to open up is to be open to listen. To ask what is going on. To encourage them to share their truth. To be brave enough to hear their truth. To respond in kindness and without defense. To say, "Tell me more, or tell me about what's going on. I really want to know." After your partner has shared, let your partner know that you've truly heard what they've had to say, and a very important thing is to ask rather than assume, rather than react, ask what's going on, and you'll find out.
