Effective communication relies heavily on listening since it gives both parties the chance to express themselves without hindrance or criticism. When someone speaks, make sure you’re hearing what they have to say rather than just waiting for them to finish so you can respond with your opinion or thoughts on the matter at hand.

  • 2 Avoid assumptions:

It’s easy (and common!) To assume things about our partner based on past experiences we’ve had with them or even prior conversations we may have had, but this isn’t always accurate—even if it feels like something should be true due to its familiarity! Before making assumptions about anything that comes up in a conversation between two individuals, take some time to listen carefully and gain an understanding of what is being said. Don’t jump to conclusions that could turn out to be completely incorrect!

  • 3 Be open-minded & honest :

Openness creates trust while honesty builds respect within relationships which helps strengthen bonds over time when done correctly – by not only listening but also sharing information honestly such as feelings/opinions etc., This will allow both parties involved to feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgemental responses back from either side thus creating more understanding between one another moving forward no matter what subject comes up during conversation(s). 

  • 4 Respect boundaries & space :

Everyone needs personal space sometimes – whether that means taking some alone time away from each other physically (i going out to separate places), emotionally (not expecting constant attention all day long), mentally (allowing freedom to think freely without pressure making decisions quickly, etc.), respecting these boundaries allows individuals grow independently yet remain connected overall despite the physical distance separating them temporarily every now then!.  

  • 5 Make “we-time” priority :

Just like everyone needs their alone time occasionally; couples need quality “we-time” together too! Whether this means scheduling regular date nights out weekly/monthly basis respectively depending upon individual schedules available OR simply carving moments throughout the day where two people come closer talk openly share stories
