Use Non-Verbals to Boost Your Communication

I’d say that 99.9% of the time when couples reach out for support, they ask for help in improving their communication. And as specific as that may initially sound, it’s actually quite general. Because truth be told, there are so many different ways we communicate… which also means there are countless ways you can get stuck.

There’s….

Verbal communication…. words (the good, the bad, and the ugly).

Non-verbal… sex, touch, affection… or eye rolls, and cold looks.

Miscommunications…. using all the wrong words with the best of intentions.

Non-communication… shutting down or lashing out.

Sadly, the list can go on and on with even more examples of “communication”. And the more types of communication there is, the more opportunities there are to mess it up along the way.

So how about starting to improve in just one area at a time?

If you choose one type of communication on the list to work on this week, why not try to beef up your non-verbal communication?

Because sex and touch are beautiful languages to speak in love.

And they can often get lost in the shuffle of busyness, overwhelm, or disconnection.

Your relationship needs communication firing on all cylinders so take some time this week to snuggle up and communicate non-verbally together.

You got this.
