Importance of Listening in Communication
Listening plays a crucial role in effective communication within relationships. When couples struggle to communicate, it often stems from talking at each other rather than truly listening. This lack of listening leads to misunderstandings, assumptions, and an inability to connect on a deeper level. By actively listening and staying curious about your partner's thoughts and feelings, you can break the cycle of talking at each other and improve the quality of communication.
