Criticisms, defensiveness, silence, and feeling misunderstood are just a few signs of communication problems in a relationship. Dr. Kenneth B. Ballard, better known as Dr. Ken, is an ordained minister and licensed professional clinical counselor. In this episode, Dr. Ken discusses the top reasons men have a difficult time expressing emotion, why tone and volume matter when communicating, how counseling can be effective, ways to cultivate healthy communication, and the importance of having fun with your loved one in order to build a healthier, stronger, loving relationship.
