Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew

68 Ten Lessons in Communication


Listen Later

This week on Couple Things, we talk about some of the things that we have learned over the past 5 years of marriage as it pertains to communication. We aren't professionals, but we want to pass along some things that have worked for us and really upgraded how we communicate with each other.


Here are some of the topics that we cover:

  • saying thank you instead of I’m sorry
  • monthly check-ups/ having a system
  • expectations when your partner is away
  • the importance of accurate ETA’s
  • meeting your partner halfway in conversation
  • the harm of blanket statements
  • owning your mistakes
  • being aware of your mood
  • always try to have a conversation
  • using your words wisely
  • being involved in your partner's excitement
  • your tone
