How To Get Your Spouse To Listen To You
How can I get my spouse to listen to me?
A common question that is asked is, "How can I get my partner to listen to me?" It's all in your delivery and your presentation. Here's what you need to do. State communication in the "I": "I need, I feel, I want, I desire." Make sure your partner's listening. Ask for feedback. Effective communication in marriage is also in the tone. It's gentle, it's soft - chances are, if I'm talking like this, someone's going to listen to me. If I'm out there and talking really loudly and there's all of this energy behind it, my partner's not going to listen to me. Tone is really important to communication in marriage. Once the two of you do have that connection, you say what you need, your partner hears what you have to say, then create a plan of action. "How are we going to do this?" Make a deal to do it by a certain date and a certain time and then do it.
