Unfortunately, many couples don\u2019t realize their communication skills need help until things have become quite rocky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples-16x12.jpg 16w\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2447 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Couples-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn\u2019t have to be this way, though. You can develop healthy communication skills at any point in your relationship. It doesn\u2019t have to be complicated or time-consuming, either. It just takes a little planning and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re already contemplating couples\u2019 counseling or just want to deepen your happy relationship, these are tips you can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">1. Checking in Daily<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be easy to forget to check in regularly with your partner in the busyness and routine of everyday life. Each of you is likely consumed with your own responsibilities: work, more work, cleaning and cooking, errands, child rearing, community involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the mix of all of this, sometimes you\u2019re so worn out by the end of the day that you forget to check in with your partner. But with time, this habit can lead to a growing distance between you. It can happen so gradually that you don\u2019t even realize it until it\u2019s become a large problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some couples take 10\u201315 minutes before supper to sit down and ask each other how their day went. You might ask what the high and low points were for each other. The main point is to maintain regular, authentic communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">2. Paying Attention<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you talk with your partner, how much are you really paying attention? Do you put down your phone or device and give them your full attention?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you think you can listen to them while simultaneously scrolling through your social media feed or texting, you really can\u2019t. They\u2019ll sense your divided attention and feel resentful. They\u2019ll feel unheard. You\u2019ll miss important points or the unspoken nuances in a conversation that add deeper meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try to make a habit of screen-free periods when you\u2019re together. Put your phones in a drawer or somewhere out of sight. Turn off notifications. Make each other the focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">3. Body Language<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language-16x12.jpg 16w\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2448 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Body-Language-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they say, actions can speak louder than words. And body language can speak volumes. What does your body language say when you\u2019re communicating with your partner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this will vary depending upon the topic you\u2019re discussing, what else is happening around you, and how stressed each of you feel in the moment. But it\u2019s worth paying attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you stay halfway turned toward the computer screen or TV when your partner is talking to you? If so, this shows that you\u2019re not completely interested. Do you look irritated and impatient when they\u2019re talking (even if it\u2019s not something you need to be impatient about)? Keep these things in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">4. Active Listening<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Active listening occurs when you pay attention to what your partner is saying and then ask clarifying questions to make sure you really get it. You provide empathy and understanding rather than trying to solve their problem. You let them know that you really hear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">5. Politeness<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad-16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2449 lazyload\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Caballerosidad-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you live with someone, it can be so easy to take them for granted and get sloppy about social niceties. You might roll your eyes, sigh, and make sarcastic remarks. Your reactions and responses to each other might be much less thoughtful and polite than they would be with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this is another habit that wears on a relationship over time. Remember to treat each other with the same respect and kindness as you would to a good friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">***<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If communication issues are creating problems in your relationship, couples\u2019 counseling is a good option to consider.
