Improve your Listening Skills and Boost your Ability to Communicate
To improve your listening skills and boost your ability to communicate is important in a relationship. Active or reflective listening consists in making sure that what you are really listening or hearing is correct by repeating it back. When you consciously listen to the other person you make sure you hear what was really said. You need to use active listening primarily if you need to modify old styles of communication with your partner that were not effective in the past. And it may be that the communication problem between the two was basically the ability to hear each other. If you’re not able to communicate effectively with your spouse, may be because you are not actively listening to what you are you saying. Good communication skills are necessary to solve problems.
If we are not listening properly, then the message sent may be very different from the actual message that we are trying to send. This can occur for many reasons, but mostly by the absence of hearing properly.
Below are some of the reasons which might interfere with listening properly:
1. When we assume that the listener does not need to listen beyond a certain point.
2. Lack of paying attention or distractions.
3. Paying more attention to your response even while the other person still talking.
4. When we assume that you know what the other is going to say, and therefore we listen only enough to make then happy.

In these situations, a couple could be making everything worse trying to be understood without realizing that both of them are not really listening to what was actually stated.
