For decades, relationship experts have emphasized communication as the core of a marriage. A couple’s ability to communicate with each other can be a strong indicator of the strength of their relationship.

 

Marriage is a partnership. A happy marriage doesn’t happen by accident. When you say, ‘I do,’ you are gaining a partner for life, someone who is there to work through everything with you.

 

It’s only normal that you will have disagreements and maybe full-blown verbal arguments. When you are angry with someone, chances are you can start thinking emotionally rather than rationally.

 

For your marriage to blossom, it is important that you keep the communication lines open even more during the challenging times. Wondering how to do this? use the tips below.

1. Be Open-minded

You both must have had different upbringings and different life experiences so it is important to keep an open mind when situations arise. You should talk things through when there are differences rather than criticize how the other handled an issue. This way, you will understand more about what makes the other tick and this will make your relationship stronger.

2. Listen

It is one thing to talk, it is a completely different thing to be able to listen to the next person. Take time out to listen to what your partner is saying and connect with it before you respond.

3. Don’t sweat the small stuff

Do you really want to get angry about the shoes left by the front door or have a big fight because the toothpaste has been left open again? Yes, these are really annoying things to have to deal with on a daily basis, but in perspective, they are insignificant when you look at issues like finances, children, and parenting, or your careers.

 

Save the big (and sometimes heated) discussions for these sorts of topics and try not to lose it over trivial things.

4. Speak up when you are unhappy

Sometimes you might feel unhappy and this can happen for many reasons. But rather than withdraw and be on your own, open up to your partner about it.

Even if you don’t understand why you are unhappy, sharing how you feel can help them to understand where you are at and allow them to reach out and do what they can to make you happy again.

5. No sarcasm at their expense

Sarcasm is not only hurtful but totally unnecessary. It is a surefire way to get your partner’s hackles up, so take a few deep breaths and think again before unleashing a sarcastic tirade.

6. A little courtesy goes a long way

No matter how busy life gets (and it can be a bulldozer at times), make time to ask your partner how they feel. Ask the courteous questions like ‘How was your day?’ or ‘How are you feeling?’ to open the lines of communication when you see your partner is feeling stressed or tired.

7. Don’t close down during conflicts

 

Arguments are a part of marriage. The secret to a successful marriage is being able to work through arguments, rather than shutting down. It can be hard, especially when you are at your wit’s end, but if you can dig deep enough to open the door to communication, you will find you can work through things a lot more effectively.
