Here’s the biggest communication mistake you can make: listening to respond instead of to understand. So many couples think their communication issues are about words—what’s said, how it’s said, or even what isn’t said. But the real issue? It’s usually about listening. 💔 You listen to respond, not to understand. 💔 You dismiss emotions because you’re focused on fixing the problem. 💔 You hear the words, but you miss the deeper message. When your partner feels unheard, invalidated, or dismissed, the conversation stops being about solving the issue and starts being about survival—shutting down, arguing, or avoiding. Here’s the truth: communication isn’t just about speaking clearly. It’s about creating a space where both of you feel safe to be heard and understood. 👂 Drop an ear emoji below if this resonates, and let’s start the conversation about how to improve communication in your marriage.
