Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 3
)
The Problem of Mind Reading
When couples try to read the mind of their partner they generally guess wrong. This is especially true in couples who argue a lot. The individual who tries reading the mind of their partner often assume they know what their partner is feeling and thinking. These assumptions are often in error and create more problems. Individuals who expect their spouse to read their mind are asking for trouble and playing an unfair game.
Saying What You Really Want to Say
Virginia Satir, a pioneer in the field of marriage and family therapy, used the term leveling to describe the process of saying to the best of your ability, what you think, what you mean, and how your feel. Leveling in relationships is what can increase intimacy and bring you closer to your spouse.
Communicating Expectations
You cannot expect your partner to be sensitive and understand exactly how you feel about something unless youīre able to communicate to him or her how you feel in the first place.

Q.
My fiance and I are getting married July 4. I am in the Marines stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. I still have a problem with telling my parents everything that my fiance and I talk about. I believe this originates from me being real close to my parents. This obviously really hurts her, because she feels she cant trust me. Is there anything I can do practice not telling my parents every little thing her and I talk about, or much less do. Thank you, John
