Stop Divorce - Talking

Some words about communication and stopping divorce, we all know that communication is important, but not everyone knows how to deal with a lack of communication, sometimes you just get used to not saying anything... here are a few words about how to change that and try to sopt divorce.

Here are some great ways to get started. Listen to the news in the morning or on your way to work. When you are listening, try to focus on those things you think your spouse would find interesting. What would SHE tell you about? Then ask her if she heard the story, and what she thought about it.

At work, school or out on the street, pay attention to those things that happen during the day that are funny, educational or interesting and talk about those. Ask your spouse if they have heard from a good friend lately and what is happening with them. Talk about things you want to plan or do over the next month or two. Vacation planning is a good topic, but only if you are both looking forward to going and if you are both actively involved in planning for the vacation. One cautionary note: If you only get an hour or two per day in which the two of you can talk, try NOT to use that time to nag your spouse about an incomplete activity or complain about what has been happening at work or home.

Keep the conversation interesting and try to focus on things that are positive so your spouse will WANT to talk to you. Once you open the lines of communication, you’ll find that you don’t need conversation starters anymore, and you will start to talk about important things again. And, that is what this is really about.
