I think that my husband and I communicate pretty well for the most part, although there are definately times that we don't communicate well. I've really noticed that the longer we are together the easier it is to communicate.

Yes, I'm very blessed to have the dh I do. He and I are best friends and are very open with each other. We can tell when something is wrong or the other is not feeling well very quickly.

My husband is funny about communication. I know about every mile he rides on his bike and strange details like that, but he forgets to tell me that his daughter is coming to live with us for the summer. "I thought I told you..." Um, no, I wouldn't have scheduled that two weeks away if I'd known....

My husband is usually pretty good about telling me everything (especially if I jog his memory some), but what drives me crazy is he doesn't get the details about anything. For instance, we working at a church camp over the summer and that's about all he knows! I would have asked 100 questions about the little details, but he didn't.

I think that's a guy thing. He's probably thinking you'll just show up and they'll tell you what to do, and you're thinking, what shoes should I wear? Will I need a swimsuit? Am I in charge of crafts? Do we need to bring a lunch? Yup. Been there, too.

Communication is key in almost any relationship out there. I think we communicate better than anyone else I've known or I've been with. I think the same goes with him. Our communication is open, honest and comfortable - three key elements.

It's not always easy though, as you worry about tactfully saying something or stepping on one's toes, but essentially you can get through it with a whole lot of honesty and kindness!

I think we communicate very well! Our marriage has always been a communication marriage.
My dh knows that if something is bothering me then I will let him know. He will listen to me and it is the same with me.
I will listen to him if he has had a bad day at work. Then I know he feels better when he is done talking to me.

I am so blessed because we do communicate SO well! I love the fact that we can talk so well and communicate with each other - when we are mad, sad, and of course, are happy! !
Of course, it's not perfect 100% of the time, And sometimes miscommunications occur, but I will say, those times are usually resolved pretty quickly once we can get over the miscommunication hump!

At times. I think it's a guy thing where some men think we should just know or understand. We do communicate about most things but certain things which revolving people whom I can't stand , he tend not to tell me . Anyway at first I felt hurt about him not telling me about so and so than I realise fine because he told me this 'why waste time talking about someone you do not like'. I know he's right because he's not a gossiper nor does he like to get involve any personal problem. So now I'm not so affected by it. I think you choose your battle - fight for something that matters the most than picking on trivial stuff.

I agree with Lisa that the longer my DH and I are married the better we communicate. He is my absolute best friend and he knows me almost better than I know myself! We talk about EVERYTHING, every chance we get! We've been married for 12 years, and it just keeps getting better. What trips me out is when we finish each other's sentences or we say one or two words and the other knows exactly what's being said and answers the question!
Not bad for me, being taught as a child how to act out instead of "using my words"! I've learned to warn him about whatever mood I happen to be in, if it's going to lead to an argument (which are practically non-existent now, thanks be to GOD!).
