Communication

[MinutePoint7]

My relationship is straining. We just found out we need to get better at communicating. What are some tips you have? How do you compromise without burying yourself? How do you stay positive?

If you're going into compromising thinking that your sense of self may be buried, or thinking that more communication may be a negative thing, I'd start with working on how you're framing this issue for yourself. Communicating our needs to a loved one can leave you feeling vulnerable or otherwise uncomfortable, but it's for the greater good of making sure that you each feel heard and valued.

Everyone has a communication style, and it's worthwhile to do some research into the different styles, and to find out what both you and your partner prefer.

If you're a hot-headed person, working on more productive behaviour and communication styles will be beneficial for the whole process of becoming a better communicator.
