Good communication is of great importance in relating with your spouse, and also contributes greatly to the growth of your relationship.

We are different in characters and it's impossible for you to have the same behavior with your partner. Different people with different views and approaches to different acts and spheres.

Here are 8 solid rules for good and effective communication with your partner.

Rule 2: Timing is essential.

Don’t try to talk about a difficult subject when the house is in chaos. Learn to understand the atmosphere and how it works with time. Make a date, talk to your partner after you've  had a good meal. Don’t try to talk when your partner is getting ready to drift off to sleep.

Rule 3: Don't beat around the bush, Get to the point.

Don’t say more than you have to. Give your partner the bottom line first, then go back and sketch in the details. He/She’ll understand more of what you’re saying. If your partner really wants more information, he/she’ll ask.
