Imagine being able to truly connect, express your needs openly, and feel heard and understood in your relationship. It’s possible, even if you’ve been struggling.

John Gottman has been quoted saying that he can, with 91% accuracy, predict whether a partnership will stay together or split up – after 5 minutes of hearing them speak. If he writes a book titled, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, it is probably worth read.

There are a lot of little skills that we can learn to make ourselves better communicators, but a lot of it depends on our ability to listen. Learning to listen, being able to validate, and becoming problem solvers can be had with practice.
