Perhaps one of the most important rifts that forms in any relationship is a result of poor communication. This is especially true for relationships involving members of the alternative sex. Let's face up to it we're totally different and we do not express ourselves in the same way. This can cause issues when meanings are taken out of context and heartfelt expressions aren't taken for what they are. It is nobody's fault and yet everyone's fault that arguments result over communication differences between men and girls. It is trusting because neither of us is intending to mistake meanings or improperly express ourselves, but it is our responsibility to discover how to communicate effectively with each other.
Possibly the very first thing you should generally keep in mind to create a successful marriage is giving each other respect. Try to remember the explanation why you got married in the first place and rather than deliberately doing things you know will elicit a negative response, try and share your thoughts in a careful and loving way. You should be showing more respect to your partner than you do to your CEO. If you think about it, why should your head honcho get the best of you when you guaranteed that to your spouse?
The following most important thing on my list gives one another the benefit of the doubt. Again, remember you are in love and thinking your other half is making an attempt to upset you on purpose should be the last conclusion to which you jump. Always assume first, that you don't understand all the motives or aren't seeing the situation through your spouses eyes. If in the final analysis, it turns out that it absolutely was a obvious rotten thing to do, you can deal with that, but your spouse will see the cherish and care you showed by making an attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt first. This will hopefully result in more respect shown towards you in the next confrontation.
You should usually bear in mind during an discussion the purpose is not to win. Nobody wins. The purpose is to chat about opposing view points and find a compromise or a solution. Try and keep your emotions under control during a disagreement. If you get overly emotional, you will miss the point entirely. It is easy to get carried away into illogical statements when we are too caught up in feelings. Avoid the "right fight" and instead try and get it right.
As discussed above, remember the importance of compromise. You are now two people making an attempt to become one. This suggests it will take a lot of give and take to become an unstoppable team. Attempt to be open to other answers. If you and your spouse are stuck on opposite sides of a discussion, attempt to think of middle ground. Neither of you'll finish up getting exactly what you need, but you'll potentially be in a position to find a solution you can both live with. When you learn how to solve Problems this way, you'll feel happier and your marriage will be stronger.
Something that should go without saying, but I may bring up anyhow is that you should always be truthful with each other. Obviously, if your communication is totally full of lies, you are truly not communicating anyway. It is never ok to lie to each other. If you are doing something you don't want to tell your other half, perhaps you must rethink what you're doing.
Along the same lines, annul all name calling from your wedding. Joking or not, you should never resort to name calling. And neither should you swear at every other in an argument. This really goes back to the respect thing, but many people don't even realize the loss of respect that occurs when swearing and name calling enter the argument. The hurt due to this break of respect will go deeper than whatever you were disagreeing about in the first place and will be hard to erase.
lastly, be forgiving. Try honestly to see both perspectives and if your sentiments have been hurt, work on forgiving. Do not let injured feelings fester and snowball through each debate you ever have as a couple. If you are having trouble forgiving, maybe you need to bring the issue up with your spouse and explain your affections. Then listen punctiliously to your other half's side. If you are still having trouble, pray for help being forgiving. You'll find it's far easier to do with some help.
These are just one or two tips to help communication issues in a wedding. they are very important. Be sensitive to each other's feelings and attempt to communicate brazenly and honestly so you can grow stronger with each argument you have.
