Communication is Key to Successful Long-Term Relationships

The single most important factor in a relationship is arguably communication.  Without effective communication couples, other "top" problems, such as finances and intimacy, can be very difficult to resolve.  Sure, you've tried everything you know, even used infamous "I" statements, and still, somehow, things don't seem to work.  Or perhaps it seemed like a conversation was resolved, yet two weeks later you find yourself thinking:  "Why do you do that?  You know it irritates me!"  or "We would get along if only you_______," and "Why won't you just listen to me. Am I not important to you?" Or, you find yourselves arguing about the same topic over and over.  It's time to learn how to come to resolution, to feel peace and happiness with your partner.

If eyes are the windows into the soul, then our words are the pathways into the heart.  Learn how to talk with one another.  Your relationship can grow deeper and have greater meaning.  Maybe you are wondering what to do because you are on the brink of divorce, and wonder how you can possibly make it back.  I can tell you that I have seen couples change their lives by learning a relationship communication skills built upon decades of research that have been effective with infidelity, mental illness, and addiction.
