Actively listening to your partner can improve communication from "summary" of Hold Me Tight by Dr. Sue Johnson

Dr. Sue Johnson emphasizes the importance of actively listening to your partner in order to improve communication in your relationship. This means really tuning in to what your partner is saying, both verbally and nonverbally, without interrupting or planning your response in your head. When you actively listen to your partner, you are showing them that you value their thoughts and feelings. You are creating a safe space for them to express themselves without judgment or criticism. This can help build trust and connection in your relationship. Actively listening also involves asking clarifying questions and reflecting back what you hear to ensure that you understand your partner correctly. This can prevent misunderstandings and conflict that often arise from miscommunication. By being present and attentive when your partner is speaking, you are showing them that you care about what they have to say. This can lead to deeper conversations and a stronger emotional bond between the two of you.
