I still try to fully follow these points. my main issue is to make speeches (I am such a drama queen and I always feel so sorry for myself when I make the huge speech which always makes things worse, way worse) while my husband’s biggest issue is to bring up the past when I on the wrong (as if it helps the situation we are at the moment at all)

I can accelerate from 0-100 very quickly. Luckily my spouse and I don’t fight often and for some reason I’m always in the wrong 😀 These are awesome tips to follow especially paraphrasing to make sure you are hearing the other person correctly and making sure you listen to what they are saying.

But most often they are violated. We all are human beings and have a tendency to judge everything from our own perspective and put too much emphasis on our feelings. Great tips for all relationships. Thanks for sharing

I definitely am guilty of breaking a few of these rules. I’m bad about bringing up history and answering complaints with complaints.

That aside, these are great tips for everyday communication. Many of the tips (such as not bringing up the past) show that you respect one another.

Lee, that is so true! A wise person once told me “listen to learn, not to respond.” I have to admit, it is something that changed my perspective, and I have to say that I’ve repeated that little pearl of wisdom more than a few times to others.
