Week 9 /Communication

So this week we talked about communication. One thing that I really like was something I can apply in my own life. In the book it gave us four ways we can improve are listing skills. I think this is something really important in my marriage and in my future job that I want.
The Four ways are,
1 Take the initiative in communication. Effective listening is active not passive.
2 Resist Distractions
3 Control your emotions and your tendency to respond before your partner us finished.
4 Ask questions and rephrase to clarify your partner's meaning.
