If you have not seen this video, you need to watch it now! Not only is it funny, but it really proves the differences in the way boys and girls communicate.
Listening: To give one's attention to a sound; to take notice of and act on what someone says.
Communication: The imparting or exchanging of information or news.
Understanding: The ability to understand something; comprehension.
So we are constantly hearing couples bicker about their spouse not being able to communicate and exactly how frustrating it is. So why do we keep communicating in the same way? When talking, we often find ourselves making assumptions, based on our feelings, impressions or misunderstandings. How can we avoid these problems? You could try to avoid using sarcasm, being clear in your expectations, validate the other person's feelings, express your love, being direct (don't beat around the bush), focus on one issue at a time, using I-feel messages, and being aware of your tone and non-verbal ques. If we can do these things, we will find that we can be more clear in our communication and much more able to understand others.
