Listening is key in successful relationships

For relationships to work, communication is key. Most couples become distant in their relationships when they fail to express their thoughts and emotions in a healthy way. Communication in marriages means listening to what a spouse has to say and being able to share their thoughts and feelings openly, says Gorriet Bisangwa, a marriage counselor. “It’s not necessary that you agree with each other on all opinions, but you have to listen and give each other a chance to express themselves,” Bisangwa says.
