Has communication ever been a problem?

Question

In your marriage and if so how did you fix it?

Answer 1

it was a problem but not because we couldnt communicatewith eachother, it was more about me not being able to confront my hubby when im upset with him out of fear that i will be rejected or he would leave me.
these issues came up before we got married and was brough on because of my bad relationship with my dad.
my hubby (boyfriend at the time) talked to me about opening up and i started off by writing him letters about how i felt etc and gradually bacame secure enough to talk face to face.
it is no longer a problem though and i strongly believe that all couples should work on their communication with each other for a successful marriage.

Answer 2

You just have to work on it. It takes two to communicate. I thought everything was alright in my marriage and didn't realize my husband had issues. He communicated with everyone else but me.

Sometimes counseling will help mediate communication if there are issues that are hard to talk about without arguing. But if both spouses want to work on a relationship, communication is the cornerstone of fixing any problem. To communicate, you have to be a good listener. Set up ground rules when you are talking. Each person should be allowed to complete their thought before the other one interrupts. Each spouse should be able to express their feelings without being ridiculed for them. Most of the times issues are based on how one perceives an issue, not on right or wrong.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes of course. A lot of people have communication issues in their relationships. The best way to fix it is to find time in your busy lives to spend quality time together. Then open up the communication lines.

Answer 4

Yes....you need to learn each others communication style and accept the fact that one of you may not be able to be as open and verbal as the other would like. Learn to accept the other person for who they are. Sometimes I have to ask my husband...Is this what you were thinking or feeling or am I wrong. ETC. My husband doesn't talk let his feelings show. That is just the way he is. I know this and work around it.

Answer 5

Everyone has communication issues. The solution is to pay attention to what the other person is saying and keep an open mind. Don't just focus on yourself and how that other person isn't listening or caring, becuase they may be having the same thoughts about you.

Answer 6

When I had this problem with my husband we each got out A note book and started writing each other.We put it in A please we could find it every day and look in each others book to see if there was a letter for us.It was much easier to write it all out.If it was that impotent enough to write then is was that impotent to talk about and we did.Now we talk all the time.We just needed A starting point.Also it is much easier to explain something when writing and easier to understand what is being said.Your thoughts are all together.And you cant yell!And wont be yelled at.

Answer 7

No, I am not afraid to say what is on my mind, the reason is there is alot more room out than there is in, and if you keep your feelings inside, it is not good for any relationship, my answer is just say what is on you mind, if they don't like what you have to say they really didn't like or love you in the first place.

Answer 8

it's almost every couple's problem. take away your pride, it is always the source of sour relationship.

Answer 9

yes. learn how to bite your tongue, be open minded, and not raise your voice.
