Communicate openly with your partner about your needs from "summary" of The Sex-Starved Marriage by Michele Weiner Davis
Sharing your desires and concerns with your spouse is essential in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship. When you keep your needs and feelings bottled up inside, it can create distance and resentment between you and your partner. By openly communicating with your spouse about what you want and need in the relationship, you can work together to find solutions that benefit both of you. It's important to approach these conversations with a sense of honesty and vulnerability. Be willing to express yourself openly and honestly, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Remember that your partner cares about your happiness and well-being, and they may not even be aware of the issues you are facing. By sharing your feelings and desires with them, you give them the opportunity to understand your perspective and work towards finding a resolution together. When discussing your needs with your partner, it's crucial to use a non-confrontational and respectful tone. Avoid blaming or accusing your partner of neglecting your needs, as this can lead to defensiveness and conflict. Instead, focus on expressing how you feel and what you would like to see improve in the relationship. By framing your concerns in a constructive and positive manner, you can foster a sense of collaboration and teamwork in addressing the issues at hand. Remember that communication is a two-way street, and it's important to listen to your partner's perspective as well. Encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings openly, and be willing to compromise and find common ground. By actively listening to each other and showing empathy and understanding, you can strengthen your bond and create a more harmonious and fulfilling relationship.- Open communication is the key to addressing and resolving issues in a marriage. By sharing your needs and desires with your partner in a respectful and honest manner, you can strengthen your connection and work towards building a more satisfying and intimate relationship.
