I’m sure you’ve heard this saying before: communication is the key to any relationship. It sounds cliché but it’s true. I think it’s really easy to tell people that communication is important in a healthy relationship but it’s not as easy to explain how to communicate. And if we’re never taught how to use this key, then we’ll never be able to open the door to healthy communication.

Communication is defined as a lot of things but my favourite definition includes, “the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings”. I always say I’m a great talker, but I have to also be an equally great listener in order to be a great communicator. Communication is about expressing yourself in a healthy way, listening to your partner when they are doing the same, and really hearing and absorbing what the other person has to say.

Communication is not just about talking about each other’s days and saying what you had to eat for lunch.  It’s about being able to dig deep and get to know this person as well as you can. It’s not always easy to dig deep, especially for those who have never been comfortable talking about their feelings. And it’s not necessary to make every conversation a heart to heart.

 My guest today is the most amazing, Diana Indries.

 Diana is very passionate about helping couples improve their communication by playing a game called Better Topics. Better Topics is a card game for couples that she has invented together with her husband.  They created this game to help couples have deeper conversations and also still have a lot of fun.
