I thin k the reason most people say communicate is because people do not know how to anymore. Every one trys to but things go wrong. You sit down with the best intentions but as soon as he or she says somthing you don't like your deffenses come up. You stop listening and start talking over each other.

Here is a solution that I found that can help. Take a pillow and give it to your spouse. Tell him or her they have 5 min. to say what they want and you won't interrupt. At the end of the 5 min. you get 30 seconds to sum up what you heard. Then you get the pillow for 5 min. and continue this back and forth. It takes work to realy know how to communicate with each other.
