How to Speak the Truth Without Blame

5 days ago

One of the most powerful communication shifts you can make in your marriage is learning how to express what you feel without assigning blame.

Instead of saying, “You never listen to me,” try, “I feel unheard when I’m sharing something important and the TV is on.”

Instead of, “You don’t care about me,” try, “I feel disconnected when we go several days without meaningful conversation.”

And instead of, “You always make me feel stupid,” try, “When you correct me in front of others, I feel embarrassed and small.”

Blame invites defensiveness. Vulnerability invites understanding.

If you want to learn how to shift from defensiveness to connection, that’s what my six-month marriage intensive, Marriage in Bloom, is designed to help you do.
