Lack of Communication Isn’t to Blame Everytime
If you get married, then you’ll need to realize just how important proper communication is. However, did you ever consider the possibility that we tend to blame a lack of communication for everything that goes wrong? If we run out of something in the house like garbage bags, then we’ll immediately blame someone else for failing to meet our needs. Instead of looking for a way to solve our own problems, we tend to look for a scapegoat to blame instead. If we were able to stop blaming everything on lack of communication, we would be able to operate much more efficiently.
Stop immediately blaming communication for the problem and try to determine what the underlying problem really is. Why don’t you have any garbage bags? You meant to write them on your list but Jimmy skinned his knee and you never got it done? Maybe your husband took the last trash bag for yard work and you didn’t pay any attention to it because you were in the process of cooking dinner. In these particular cases, communication wasn’t to blame. Other things got in the way and you simply tried to find someone else to pin the blame on.
Blaming your spouse for things beyond his or her control will be detrimental to your relationship. Don’t try to blame your husband for reminding you about the bags while you were in the process of doing something else because that won’t serve any useful purpose. Instead of looking for a scapegoat for your problems, you should realize that no one is perfect, including you. If you don’t expect too much from people, then you won’t find yourself disappointed.
In general, if people are not communicating effectively, there is another, deeper reason for the problem. You should find out what’s wrong with your spouse if he or she rarely has time to talk to you. Avoid taking it personally if the source of the problem has nothing to do with you. Your spouse may just be having an issue with someone at work. There’s nothing that can’t be helped by just sitting down and discussing what you’re perceiving and trying to find out what’s really going on. If you don’t take the time to both talk and listen, your marriage is headed for far greater problems than you’re having now. Doc No. 34Sdlhgsdl -sds
