How To Start A Serious Talk About Your Marriage With Your Husband

How do I start a serious talk about our marriage with my husband?

By being open and non-judgmental, once again. If you need to have a talk about your relationship with your husband, you need to make it a very safe place and not judge what's coming out of his mouth. Because a lot of times, women bring up things from six months ago: “Goddamn it, Harry, I remember six months ago when you didn't take the garbage out and we were late for that party.” Instead, make it safe, sit him down when it's quiet, when the kids aren't around and say “Look, we need to have a talk. I want to really talk about our relationship and I want to see how we can improve it.” It's called encouragement. Don't say “I want to have a talk about our relationship. Things are so wrong.” Then he's dreading the conversation. Here with the words, I'd like to improve the relationship, he's more open to what comes out of your mouth, whether good or bad.
