Your Biggest Communication Mistake

Have you ever ignored something your spouse did or said because it felt easier to just “let it go”? You’re not alone—most couples do this. But here’s the problem: when you avoid bringing up the things that really bother you, resentment quietly builds in the background.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s okay to talk about what’s bothering you—this is it. The way you bring it up matters, and when you do it thoughtfully, it can completely change the way your spouse hears you.

👉 Want more help learning how to have these conversations without turning them into arguments? Check out my course Communicate Without Arguments—it’s all about exactly that.
