About this listen
It is tragic and frustrating when poor communication hurts an otherwise good relationship — and it happens more times than one might think. Common errors in thinking are made, leading to couples feeling distant and communicating less or ineffectively.
It is usually simple slip-ups such as, making assumptions about something the other person said, did, or thought—that were never clarified. When questions aren’t asked and clarification isn't sought, people begin to avoid talking things through in order to just “keep the peace!”
Consequently, more mistakes take place causing the distant feeling to grow stronger. I don’t know how many times I have listened to couples explain the details of their “major blowup” only to find it was essentially about nothing of any real substance.
Good communication skills can often eliminate a great deal of heartache in relationships. If you are struggling in this area, consider the following suggestions for promoting good communication between you and the one you love.
