Lately been adopting a new way of communicating that we learned in a book that we have been reading. The book is about communication in marriage and one thing that the book encourages us to do is to get beyond the headline reporting way of talk with our spouse. Meaning, that we need to be more expressive with our conversations and saying meaningful things to each other not just the normal short sentence talk.
So, here it is what the book has been teaching us, every day take 30 min or so and tell your spouse three things about your day that moved your feelings and emotions. The point of it is to share the feelings with each other, which we may keep for ourselves. The purpose is to talk about thing we might don't want to talk about and also to force us to find things and way to have conversions. The need to share the emotions is the key point.
We have been trying to do it every day for the past two weeks and it has been going great. I think it helps us a lot, we get to know how we feel and shows what is important to each other. I believe that best benefit of this method is the way it makes us listen to each other and the feeling of importance that brings with it.
Couples, I encourage you to try to have those meaningful conversions and have more than the usual (ok, nice, thank you) communications.
I look forward to your comments.
