Although if you were to ask each spouse separately how their communication skills are they would assure you that there is no problems. Unfortunately their spouses will have something very different to say.<\/p>\n<p>This is nothing to fear, however, and can be resolved fairly easily. One of the most effective ways to mange this problem is to step up some communication rules that both you and your spouse need to properly follow and at all times, when you want to convey a message to your spouse and want to make sure the message is clearly understood.<\/p>\n<p>1. Have A Speaking Stick- It is often helpful to have a speaking stick in the home when you need to have a conversation with your spouse and want to be sure that you are being heard and understood, as well as making sure your partner gets their chance to speak. When you utilize a speaking stick, only the person with the stick is allowed to speak and therefore you eliminate talking at the same time and not hearing what your partner is saying and vise versa.<\/p>\n<p>2. Stay Focused On One Issue At A Time- What often happens when a couple is discussing something, they tend to get off track and bring up issues from the past. This is not a means to effective communication, and is also not what the issue is at the moment. Even if you think that something from the past also relates to what you are discussing, it should still not be brought into the current conversation. If you stay focused on one issue at a time, you will be able to effectively communicate and resolve all issues that you, as a couple, are facing.<\/p>\n<p>3. A Wait Period- Try not to address issues immediately, but instead have a waiting period. Usually when something first happens everyone is a little more defensive and agitated. Creating a specific day and time to sit and discuss issues for the week, is a better way to address situations. After a little time has passed you will probably be better able to communicate about the subject without turning the communication into a heated argument.<\/p>\n<p>If you are experiencing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightyourfire.com\">marriage problems<\/a>, stop by www.lightyourfire.com immediately.
