Good communication is one of the most important requirements in a successful marriage. Good communication begins with the ability to exchange ideas, facts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. Without good communication, anger, tension, and frustration sets in. Politeness, tact, and consideration are required if communication is to be productive. One of the most important human needs is for acceptance and appreciation. Partners need to know that they can accept each other's word, believe in each other, depend on each other to keep promises, and be faithful to commitments that are made. They need to be honest and sincere.
Thank you for this.
Sometimes I still need to tell myself my desires are VALID.
Its crazy how much we doubt OURSELVES!
Even if our SO is lying or hiding or being snotty or non communicative. Still we ask, what is it that I am doing wrong? Maybe if I were just to...then everything would be better.
Sometimes, our life presents us with an opportunity to see what is missing, set a boundary for it and move on.
Hugs to US!
