Clever Sharing

We face problems ourselves and our partner does as well. Is it wise to share it with each other and support each other or is it best to keep your feelings and thoughts inside until you find a solution?  You think that if you share it with your partner he will not understand and he cannot help anyway. Why bother him/her?

Which is harder? To speak to him/ her or not? I believe harder is to speak to each other because you have to think how to say it, how to express yourself and the other person should also be careful not to make fun or criticize his/ her spouse. It is called COMMUNICATION.

Five reasons you need to share your problem with your spouse:

1 )  If you put your problem in words, you will understand it better yourself.

2)  He or she will excuse you if you have weird and for no reason emotional outbreaks.

3) You should understand you are not alone, so act like it.

4) By talking to each other you might find out deeper reasons you are in this situation.

5)  You are working on your communication skills.

Five behaviors to avoid:

1)      Don’t get angry.

2)      Don‘t talk before the other person finishes what he/ she  has to say.

3)      Don’t criticize.

4)      Be calm.

5)      Be supportive.
