Marriage Communication Basics

Binge-watching Netflix’s Love is Blind is like eating ice cream so fast you get a brain freeze. There were sweet moments and other moments that made me stop and have an honest conversation with my husband. 

Many singles between 25-40 have turned to reality TV love shows in a last-ditch effort to find “their person” and get married. They thought that deserted islands or building connections through a pod would help them find the perfect partner. Once the couples are no longer in their bubble and have to work through day-to-day challenges, they struggle to maintain the spark they developed in the pods.

Effective communication is the key in any successful relationship, especially in marriage. It’s the key ingredient to maintaining a happy and healthy bond. Without it leads to frequent disagreements, distrust, and ultimately a breakdown in the relationship.

Suggesting that we consider our business a laboratory and a place to “experiment.” At the same time, Ilise emphasized that we would take “baby steps” for the next 21 days.
