Question

What is your definition of good communication in a relationship or marriage ?

Answer 1

when I come home and my wife is naked with her A** in the air...  in my mind that is good communication lines because she read my mind!

Answer 2

Looking into the loving eyes of my husband and being honest with him.  Letting him know he is my life and I just need to talk to him.  He lovingly listens while I lovingly talk.  No TV, no interruptions of any kind.  We even tell the kids to take a break from us.

Answer 3

Sharing you feelings and/or thoughts, not to pass judgment on each other, respect each other. To be adults about any situation  and sit down to work everything out.  

Answer 4

Sharing you feelings with each other without passing judgment!

Answer 5

Never "assume" things...in other words, you may think the other person knows what you mean or knows what you feel. DON'T assume anything...it's better to talk things over and thus avoid arguments in the future. I've been married 21 year's and I definitely say that communication is the key.

Answer 6

when both actually listen when each other talks and actually also remembers what is said.. when they dont turn their back while being spoken to, when you give your undivided attention to the other while they are talking.  

Answer 7

very simply that you listen to what the other has to say, consider their thougths and feelings and they do the same for you. Put them first, before anyone else. You dont' always have to agree with each other on your opinions, but you have to give each other their opportunity to voice or vent. Dont' hold grudges.  

Answer 8

My definition of good communication is always listening to what your spouse has to say even if you don't agree with it, and making all decisions together.

Answer 9

some might say spying on the other person is the best,,but I would say being able to talk about anything and everything at anytime.
