Listen Up: How To Be A Good Listener for Your Partner

Communication is key

CONROE, TX, December 05, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Feeling close and intimate with your special someone can pull your relationship through tough times and help couples thrive when the relationship is doing well. A major way to build this bonding in your relationship is by being open and honest with each other about your thoughts and emotions. Sometimes being vocal about your own thoughts is easy, but listening to your partner is more difficult. If you are looking for some inspiration to help you become a better listener, check out these tips.

Listening is the first step in improving your communication. Becoming a good listener starts with small gestures like maintaining eye contact and making appropriate comments at the right time. This will show your partner you are focused on them and the conversation.

When your partner is speaking, try not to change the subject. Whether you think the topic is important or not, your partner wants to discuss it for a reason. Let them finish their thoughts fully while giving your complete attention. You may realize that you see the issue differently after hearing it from your partner's perspective.

One of the most dangerous things you can do is make assumptions about the way your partner feels. If you are uncertain, ask appropriate questions that will allow the two of you to have a deeper discussion. Make sure you are asking the questions respectfully and allow your partner to complete their thoughts before you ask more questions.

Do not be overly critical of your significant other. Even if you do not agree with their standpoint on a given issue, they need to know you accept them unconditionally. Critique your partner gently using facts and suggestions, rather than coming across harsh or angry.

One of the most common missteps couples make is trying to "one up" each other during arguments. If your partner has a complaint about you, do not try to complain about them to lessen the blow for you. Instead, try and repair the situation at hand.

At the end of the day, communication is the driving factor in keeping your relationship together. You will never be able to nail communication with your partner if you are not able to listen with your whole heart. Giving your partner the time and attention they deserve can help your relationship grow to new heights.
