Relationship coach Bruce Muzik gives couples tips on how to be a good listener to your partner with these 4 tips.
1. Be responsive to each other's talk: Simply nod your head, words like 'uh huh' and 'that makes sense' would work in this case.
2. Avoid multi-tasking:
Divided attention never works in communication because you'll never be
able to focus on either of them well. If you can't do that excuse your
partner and focus one, then when you are done, put your attention back
on them.
3. Simply listen, clear your mind of any agenda:
During conflict, couples listen to each other with the intent to reply
not to really understand. Always do one thing in this case - listen.
4. Listen to learn: Couples
don't to learn, they listen to point out mistakes. When you listen to
learn, you understand many things about your partner including body
language and moods.
