It seems obvious to say that in order to have a fabulous, intimate relationship that you must communicate with each other. It seems obvious to say that in order to have the loving relationship you want that you must communicate well together.
Often what is not said is that communication also requires that you never assume. Always check in with your partner. Ask questions. Find out how they’re feeling. Listen even when you don’t feel like it. Listen when you’ve heard it before. Be empathetic. Get feedback.
Yes, even ask how you are doing. Ask what you can do to be a better partner. And really listen. Non-defensively.
This is a big part of why Earl and I created date night questions.
As couples, to have deep love and intimacy we have to ask questions and answer them versus come to our own conclusions. Now I am not talking questions like: “what do you want for dinner?”!
Go deeper. Ask the hard questions!
