Fact:
Couples that communicate effectively have a happier relationship!
Marital research dispels all doubt: couples who communicate effectively consistently report greater marital satisfaction. These couples are healthier, and happier, and positively influence other couples-consequently these couples may also live longer.
Couples with poor communication are often caught in a vicious cycle where poor communication contributes to marital dissatisfaction, which in turn further hinders the ability to successfully communicate. The cycle, when not corrected, continues to degrade the relationship.
Effective communication is the ability to have a common understanding between the speaker and listener as to what the speaker intends to communicate. This is more natural for children than it is for adults. Often as adults, we are unaware of the behaviors that hinder effective communication. The Marriage Mirror identifies things you are doing well and reinforces them and pinpoints your “blind spots” that hinder communication and provides the methodologies you can use to change your communication for the better.
You will have the ability to develop a Personal Action Plan that will lead you through a proven process to communication success. As you conduct your experiment with The Marriage Mirror®, it is our prayer that you will enjoy the process and the positive results.
Sign up to better your communication by following these steps:
1 Assess how you think you communicate with your partner and how you think your partner communicates with you. Your partner makes similar assessments. (30 minutes)
2 Review and discuss each other’s communication assessments. (one hour)
3 Follow the directions to create a proven plan together that will enable each of you to enjoy the benefits of better communication, deeper trust, and greater satisfaction. (30 days)
4 You and your partner will encourage each other’s attempts to better communicate by giving each other positive feedback with the reinforcement cards provided. (30 days)
