In this episode of Love Matters, we discuss the importance of good communication. The hard-earned skill that relationships are built on. In this lesson, we take a look at how we communicate and how communication allows partners to connect, share thoughts and settle disputes.

As our guest, Fatima Hendricks, a social worker, elaborates – good communication doesn’t come easy. She puts to bed myths such as that of couples that are married for a long period of time find it easier to communicate with each other. She advises that couples must give themselves the time and space to speak openly. And always make room to strengthen and grow the bond they share.

Fatima shares 10 simple communication skills couples must employ to achieve good communication. Such as removing distractions, giving your partner your full attention when they speak, use your body language effectively and give them a safe space to speak.
