How You And Your Spouse Can Learn To Communicate More Effectively

How can my spouse and I learn to communicate more effectively?

The steps to effective communication are as follows: Say your desire, what would you like hear in the conversation, then state the behavior. "When I walk into the room and you ignore me" - that's stating the behavior. Your thoughts read your feelings. "I believe our marriage gone down the tubes. I believe that your TV is more important than me" and what you desire is a request for changes. "What I want is when I come into the room and I come up to hug you, just even tap my hand and give a long kiss - that's all I need from you." The last piece of effective communication is to ask for a conversation asking, "Are you willing to do this and talk about this?" Apply these steps and you will be amazed how it works in your marriage communication.
