Nothing feels better than being listened to. Nothing makes you feel more respected and more loved than being listened to by your mate. Always make time in your day for a least a few minutes of conversation. Practice listening to your mate speak. No response allowed (at first). Just look your spouse in the eyes and nod in agreement. When you get really skilled in the basics, then it's time to learn the true art of listening in giving feedback in a positive way. Making your partner feel "heard" is a skill that will last a lifetime and will keep your marriage going about that long as well.
More on the subject another time. I must listen to my spouse now--and no interruptions allowed!!
