According to 2014 statistics from the CDC, in America there is one divorce approximately every 36 seconds. And much of the most reliable research tells us that almost every single issue in relationships — whether it’s finances, intimacy, or even infidelity — finds its root in poor communication. In fact, poor communication is the #1 reason divorced couples cite for breaking up, and that’s truly a shame, because it’s not that difficult a skill a master.

That’s why today I’ll be starting a 4-part series on how to create better communication in your relationships. So, if you’ve ever experienced the pain of having a well-meaning conversation turn into a massive conflict or have ever had trouble getting your partner to open up and share their soul with you, then you’ll want to listen closely as I begin our series by sharing with you the 3 necessary shifts for having successful conversations before they begin.
