Does it seem like your spouse doesn’t listen to you? Maybe you find yourself wondering how to talk so they will listen and understand you. Listening skills are an essential part of communication in relationships, and one that trips many people up. Today’s episode (a sweet repeat from 2023) will teach you the right communication principles to guide you toward a better understanding and better conversations with your partner.

We also explore how to approach sensitive topics, the importance of timing and mood, and how to influence your partner to listen to you when you communicate. It's a good one! Let's dive in.
