Communication is key! It'll help any
form of relationship! Don't dwell on the negatives! Be humble to hear
what is being discussed and advised. You have to know yourself. Read
the article, “Talk About Happiness”by Edwin O. Haroblen from the February 1993 Ensign edition.
Are
you kind when discussing things? It's more than just talking – it's
getting the job done – respect between each other. The more the
couple talks to each other, the more happy they are. Don't let it
build up and explode later. No one can read minds (no matter how much
we want them to). Those who are only interested in themselves don't
communicate. Without good communication it's almost impossible to
fall in love. Be honest with each other how you feel. Allow yourself
to be vulnerable.
Take
off all the layers and talk about what's really bugging you. Don't
beat around the bush. Learn to listen and to listen to learn. Set
aside your own will and pride and connect soul to soul one with
another.
Maybe
try the good bad sandwich. Start off with things that you see that
are good about them. Then, discuss the things that are bugging you.
End it with with more that you love about them.
Apply
these communication skills with your Heavenly Father. Let the prayer
come from the heart of your thoughts and emotions. Practice also on
how you respond to His responses.
Be
honest with your feelings – are you doing all you can? Are you
honest with yourself in your efforts? Are you willing to admit, “I'm
lacking right now – but I'll repent and do better.”
