In married life, understanding and being understood is an important foundation for a lasting relationship. According to verywell Mind (USA), effective communication not only helps couples share their emotions but also reduces misunderstandings, conflicts and loneliness in marriage. Talking regularly and properly helps both feel respected and connect deeply.
One of verywell Minds recommended methods is to listen actively focus on the other persons words and feelings without judgment or interruption. When the husband or wife feels a sincere listen, they can easily open their heart and share deep thoughts, thereby increasing their level of understanding each other.
In addition, experts at Healthline say that using language to express personal emotions, also known as I statements like I feel sad when... instead of blaming, helps reduce stress and limit controversy. This way of communication helps the other person understand true emotions without falling into a defensive state.
According to psychological consulting organization BetterHelp, spending quality time chatting every day, even 1015 minutes, can have a positive impact on the couple relationship. These conversations do not necessarily revolve around big issues, but can be sharing about work, emotions or small things in life, helping to maintain natural cohesion.
The American Psychological Association (APA) emphasizes that understanding in marriage also comes from respecting differences. When couples accept that each person has a different way of thinking and reacting, the relationship will become more flexible and lasting under the pressures of life.
Understanding is not something that is achieved in one day or two, but the result of patience, listening and accompanying each day. When husband and wife proactively build positive communication, marriage will become an emotional safe place for both.
