4 Ways to Deepen Conversations in Your Relationship

Four things YOU can do to improve communication and intimacy with your partner.


STEP #1: LISTEN – to yourself!

The way you communicate may be part of the problem. Although that may sound discouraging, that’s actually good news, because you don’t have to wait until your partner changes to start changing your relationship!

For example, think back to the last time you and your partner had a conversation. Did you wish your partner communicated more with you? Did you wish you and your partner were able to understand each other more deeply?

If so, ask yourself what you were doing during that conversation:

  • What words were you using?
  • What tone of voice did you use?
  • How you were acting? What did your body language communicate to your partner when they were speaking?

The more you become aware of your own communication habits, the more you can improve them!

The CoupleTalk program uses self-assessments to “awaken” you to the way you communicate.


STEP #2: Become a “safe” listener.

What’s your body language like when your partner is talking to you? Are you looking at the phone rather than making eye contact? Waiting for your partner to pause so that you can dispense your “wise advice” (which your partner probably receives as criticism or nagging)?…

Step 3 – Press PLAY and get ready to reap the benefits of better communication!

Couples learn healthy, research-proven communication and conflict resolution skills in the comfort of their own home!

— The sessions are fun, interactive, and include lots of practice time together.

This is not a boring, “talking heads” video. 

— Each session has teaching of a skill, a demonstration of an exercise, then practice time for you and your partner. You will build new skills and healthy habits, and get closer to each other in the process! Win-win!

Check Out Some Video Samples:

Exercises are Clearly Demonstrated

Don and Alex briefly demonstrate – with onscreen reinforcement – how to do the “Appreciations” exercise.

Couples Practice Exercises During Each Session

Don and Alex assign couples to practice the exercise on their own using their own topics. A Countdown Clock keeps us on track.

Couples Reflect and Process Each Exercise

Couples share responses with Don and Alex. “Quick Debrief” time is closed out by reflecting together.
