Honest conversations form the backbone of any lasting marriage. Speak your mind to your partner, but do it gently. Also, communication should be a two-way street. Good communication not just involves open and honest speaking, but also active listening without judgment. Set aside time each day to check in with your partner– share your victories, frustrations, or simply how you’re feeling. Avoid conversations when you’re angry; instead, use “I” statements (“I feel…” rather than “You always…”) to express your emotions without blaming them. Meanwhile, active listening shows that you truly care and understand your partner’s views. Over time, this habit reduces misunderstandings and builds trust between you both.
