Communication, communication, communication. That is probably one of the most important words in the world. How many times has bad communication been the root of the problem? I work in the field of communications and we still aren't the best at communicating. Now add in communication to a relationship and that's another whole level there! I've been in a relationship for a couple years now but it was long distance. Jaime is now finally here, having moved from Mexico, and we have found out very quickly just how important communication is. We even have more of a challenge because his first language is Spanish and mine is obviously English! When it comes to relationships I'm not about to pretend everything is perfect. The struggle is real especially when it comes to communicating and that's why I loved this article about the 21 questions to ask your spouse once a year. Read through these and just imagine what good could come from questions like these and how much your communication could improve! These came from an article at msn.com in the lifestyle section.
Oh and if you've got some good ones you've tried over the years I'd love to hear them! You can send me a message to my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/hannahradioshow
