How to Fix Communication in Relationships: 5 Tools Every Couple Needs

Send us a text

Marriage communication isn't rocket science, but that doesn't mean it's easy. In this candid episode, Eugene and Latanya tackle the real questions couples are asking about effective communication and provide practical tools to transform your relationship conversations.

The foundation of all successful marriage communication begins with a crucial mindset shift: seeing yourselves as teammates rather than opponents. As Eugene points out, "Good teammates don't fight each other, don't only focus on what's going to make them better in the game, and are willing to do whatever is necessary in order to win." This perspective changes everything about how you approach difficult conversations.

Drawing from both scripture and their own marriage journey, Eugene and Latanya address the top communication challenges couples face. They explore why misunderstandings happen (often due to not truly listening or assuming negative intent), how to handle passive-aggressive behavior (by creating safe spaces for honest discussion), and the importance of timing for meaningful conversations. Their approach combines spiritual wisdom with practical strategies anyone can implement immediately.

The heart of this episode lies in its five actionable communication tools: promoting active listening, gently addressing passive-aggressive patterns, choosing appropriate timing for tough talks, using connection prompts like "How can I support you?", and regularly asking "How can I help?" These simple but powerful practices create an environment where both partners feel seen, heard, and valued.
