Deep Listening: The Secret to Building Enduring Relationships
We get comfortable and complacent
When things are going well and you fall into a comfortable routine and repetitive patterns develop. As a result, we take our partner for granted in many small ways, and because your partner feels that the incident or slight is so minor they ignore it.
It takes two people to build a Pattern but only one to break it
Because of the comfortable routine patterns are broken. Because your partner has stayed silent, the minor incidents are repeated causing your partner to become increasingly uncomfortable.
As the 'not important enough' incidents keep happening annoyances build, frustration becomes anger and resentment sets in until a crack appears in the relationship.
There are times when silence is not golden
This distance continues to grow and what used to be minor annoyances have now become serious. The events continue to grow until they cause a blow up. This is commonly called the straw that broke the camel's back.
Far from being golden, in this case silence can be destructive.

Caregivers need emotional support
Caregivers often become the silent victims needing emotional support. Accidents, cowardly one punch victims and traumatic brain injury survivors such as stroke change lives in a split second. Family and friends can scatter when a carer needs them the most.
Couples and families
Statistics demonstrate that many marriages and primary relationships fail because of poor interpersonal communication. The emotional and financial pain of separation and divorce is often avoidable.
Learning how to communicate, how to listen deeply is a key factor. Yet listening is not part of the school curriculum.
Business - Relationships are the key to productivity

Divorce may not be necessary
Poor communication is one of the main reasons given for divorce. Most people understand that good communication is vital to any healthy relationship.
But when communication breaks down, it creates misunderstandings, mistrust, anger, and, ultimately, broken relationships.
Talking and honesty
Talking and honesty are the most influential part of a relationship.
Communication influences the satisfaction, meaning, and happiness within a relationship.
Does keeping the peace work?
"It will blow over." "I don't want to argue with her." "It isn't worth the hassle and the silence for the next 2 weeks." "He will get mad if I talk about how I feel." "It isn't worth fighting about."
Silence = nothing will change
Staying silent means the behaviour will be repeated because the person does not realise that you are upset. How can they know if you don't tell them?
The straw that broke the camel's back
Because the offending behaviour continues, frustration and anxiety builds until it becomes too much. Eventually, the emotional dam breaks open and rational thinking is drowned in anger. This is know as, 'the straw that broke the camel's back.'
What happens if you stay silent?
In the long run, staying silent is a makes the situation worse. It is a strategy that will eventually destroy the relationship.
Staying silent delays the inevitable. Frustration grows and festers, increasing the tension until resentment and anger destroys the marriage. Staying silent merely delays the inevitable.

Is there a better way?
