Even the best of relationships can fall victim to negative communication patterns. Here are some fixes that are simple to implement and can make a big difference.
. Today, we will talk about the positive changes you can make in your day-to-day interactions that will help build more closeness and positive communication.Think of mirroring and reciprocating as your two most valuable strategies to make your partner feel understood and valued.is a way of listening and clarifying what your partner is saying, without inserting your own thoughts or judgments.
Instead, try to actively listen to your significant other and, first, in your own mind, answer the question, “What are they actually trying to tell me?” Then, reflect what you understood back to them. Mirroring can sound something like this: “So, I think I heard you say that you are frustrated with your boss because of…” Notice how different this response is from: “Well, I don’t think your boss meant it that way,” or “I have never seen my boss do that.”and responding to them with engagement and attention. For example, if your partner asks for a date night, they may be trying to connect with you without directly saying it.
Reciprocating may mean accepting the suggestion or, if you are unable to, offering a different time. Think of how you yourself would feel if your partner responds to a bid for connection with, “I have to work late this Friday, but how about Sunday evening?” rather than a disengaged, “Sorry, I can’t on Friday.”Frequently, as our relationships deepen and we become accustomed to the daily routines, we forget to do the little things that show our partner that we appreciate them.

We produce vague, half-hearted, or “sorry, but...” kinds of apologies that often not only miss the mark but have the potential to cause more harm.
