Relationship Tip - 5/7/2008

Communication is a two-way street. In order to have effective communication, two people have to be willing to participate. If one person is disengaged, then your conversation will more than likely end in conflict. Also, remember the art of listening...you cannot listen and talk at the same time :).

it’s funny kp, i never knew that to date successfully you would have to actually study dating. i have been reading books, articles and information on varies websites about dating for eight months now. i have been an participate on mia's blog for the same amount of time, and the .02 from the others i receive is very helpful. all i can say is wow!

regarding my guy tuning me out, it used to irritate me to death. at that time, i didn’t understand that i was dealing with a real man. you probably won’t believe me when i say this, but i know all the secrets now. lol. my next new booty, ooops, i mean man is going to reap all the benefits of what i have learned. i don’t plan on telling him why our relationship is so freakin’ awesome. the only way he’ll find out, is if he finds my secret stash of dating books, etc. lol. my favorite book so far is “get a life, than a man”.

regarding communication between a husband and wife, if i want to vent about my bad day at work, i will include him by giving him a task or a challenge. how would i do that you asked? lol. i would ask him for his help. “honey, i need your help with something”. asking for his input would keep his attention where it should be, on me!

the best times, i feel, that are perfect for getting your guys attention are when life slows down, on a walk, in the car, or when you two are winding down for bed. i would include the bath, but i don’t know about that one. lol.
