Anger is the worst enemy of good communication. Spouses should express their emotions to each other in a healthy manner to safeguard their relationship.
2. Marriage Communication Problems
The foundation for every successful
marriage is good communication. If only
every couple was able to improve
their communication skills between
each other, there would be a far lesser
number of divorces happening in the
world. Good communication skills are
not very hard to learn and when it
comes to personal relationships, there
are very few simple points which one
needs to keep in mind, and
automatically, the communication
between the spouses would improve.
However, while most of the people
would be ready to spend hundreds of
dollars in learning the best form of
communication in their professional life,

they would not be ready to make any
effort to improve their communication
skills at home.
Below are the three bog communication
mistakes which, when made in
a marriage, they can mean the end of
the relationship. Therefore, make sure
that you avoid making these mistakes
when communicating with
your partner.
Yelling
No person is perfect and there are

saying something that would make you
really angry. Getting angry at the
mistakes of your partner is not the
problem, and this anger will not spoil
your relationship, but it is the yelling that
you do in order to express this anger of
yours that causes all the problems
between you and your partner. If only,
instead of yelling, you would choose the
option of making your partner sit down
and quietly explaining him or her their
mistake, the whole situation would get
dissolved in a more amicable manner.
Besides this, when you yell at another
person, more often than not, that person

to you and therefore the question of him
or her understanding what your problem
is does not even arise.
Choosing the Wrong Language
Another big mistake that people make in
their communication with their partners
is that they do not think before talking
and end up using all the wrong words
and languages for communicating their
point. While it is important that you
openly express your emotions, to your

stops caring for your emotions. Thus, if
you want your partner to understand
your feelings, you need to make sure
that you communicate in a manner,
which does not hurt his or her feelings.
Do Not Compete
When couples get into an argument, the
problem escalates, simply because
neither of the partners is ready to back
down. A sort of a power tussle breaks
out between both the partners and they
start competing with each other, by both
of them trying to pull the other person
down. This sort of a competition ...

between a husband and wife can only
lead to destruction of their relationship.
During such arguments, it is important,
that at least one of the partner, acts in a
more mature manner and backs down
for the moment and allows things to
cool down. Once the tempers have
gone down, the discussion can be done
again, in a more logical manner and not
with a competitive perspective.
