Not being open

The key to making the most out of your time spent with your spouse it to be honest and open about how your feel.  This may be hard at times and you may not want to always talk about your feelings, but may be the best way to keep your love alive in the relationship.  Try to avoid not saying what you truly mean and you’ll be much more likely to have a good relationship.

Not listening to your spouse

You will want to be sure to listen to what your spouse has to say if you want to make the most of your time spent together.  This can be a difficult one to do because most spouses would prefer to talk rather than listen.  Be sure to settle down and listen at all times to your partner.  Effective Communication is more about listening and less about talking.

Being able to avoid bad communication is sure to be helpful to any relationship that you’re a part of.  The benefits of feeling good about your marriage are worth the effort.
