Marriage Straight Talk

# Talking to Each Other

Most couples do not have a communication problem, they have a repeating conversation they never finish. These pages are about the mechanics: how to raise a hard thing, how to hear one, and how to stop the same argument from running your week.

-   [How to Improve Communication in Marriage When the Kids Are Small](/how-to-improve-communication-in-marriage)
    
    A few concrete habits that fit inside the life you are actually living, no free evenings required.
    
-   [How to Stop Constant Arguing in Your Relationship](/how-to-stop-constant-arguing-in-a-relationship)
    
    You are not a bad couple, you are two exhausted people stuck in a groove. Here is how to climb out of it.
    
-   [Conflict resolution that actually holds.](/conflict-resolution-strategies)
    
    Most couples do not have a conflict problem, they have a repeating conflict problem. Here is what changes it.
    
-   [8 Secrets of Great Relationship Texting](/8-secrets-of-relationship-texting)
    
    The 8 texting habits that keep parents connected instead of quietly annoying each other all day.
    
-   [10 Things That Work for Couples in Miami](/10-effective-guidance-for-couples-in-miami)
    
    Ten concrete moves for Miami couples, anchored in the traffic, the family down the road, hurricane season and a city that eats the hours a marriage needs.
    
-   [The 7 Day Relationship Plan](/7-day-relationship-improvement-plan-proven-tips)
    
    Seven days, seven specific moves, each under 20 minutes. What a week can honestly change, and what it cannot.
    
-   [Catty Behavior in a Relationship](/catty-behavior-in-a-relationship)
    
    Why the tiny hostile remarks are the most reliable predictor of trouble I know, and the ledger that produces them.
    
-   [When Your Husband Is Constantly Critical](/how-to-deal-with-critical-husband)
    
    Why constant criticism is a pattern rather than a personality, what your half of it actually is, and the line where it stops being a coaching conversation.
    
-   [How to Get Rid of Contempt for a Coworker](/how-to-eradicate-contempt-for-a-coworker)
    
    A short, honest page. The mechanics of contempt, what shifts it at work, and where the deeper version of this conversation lives.
    
-   [How to Share Criticism With Your Partner](/how-to-share-negative-feelings-or-criticism)
    
    The step by step way to bring up something hard with your partner so it lands as information instead of an attack.
    
-   [Passive Aggression in Marriage](/passive-aggression-in-marriage)
    
    The sigh, the silence, the task that never gets done. Why it starts, why both of you are in it, and how to get it out of the house.
    
-   [Top 30 Marriage Coaching Questions](/top-30-marriage-coaching-questions)
    
    The 30 questions I actually ask couples, in 6 groups, with the ground rules that stop the exercise turning into an argument.
    
-   [Criticism in Marriage Has Two Ends](/dealing-with-a-critical-spouse)
    
    What criticism is actually asking for, the honest version for the person on each end, and the point where it stops being a marriage problem.
