Most people seek the help of a family mediator, coach, or attorney because there have been significant disconnect in a couple's communication. If you are feeling that your spouse does not hear you...you are not alone. Because of the closeness of our spouse, we often hold onto the harmful effects of their disagreement, dismissal, or advice a lot more than if someone other than our spouse said the exact same thing to us. Here are a few points about communication to help rebuild lost connection, and prayerfully, prevent the desperation of seeking divorce or separation.
Communication Is Key
No matter what decision you make, communication is crucial. If you decide to pursue a divorce, you'll need to communicate your feelings and needs to your spouse. If you choose reconciliation, communication will be essential for rebuilding trust and strengthening your relationship.

Be Honest With Yourself
When it comes to communication, it's essential to be honest with yourself about your feelings and what you want out of the relationship. If you're considering divorce, ask yourself why you're feeling this way. Is it because of something your spouse did, or is it because you're no longer in love with them? If you're considering reconciliation, ask yourself if you're willing to forgive and move forward.
Be Willing To Listen
Effective communication is a two-way street, and it's important to be willing to listen to your spouse's perspective. If you're considering divorce, listen to your spouse's thoughts and feelings about the situation. If you're considering reconciliation, listen to your spouse's apologies and plans for change.
Seek Counseling
If you're struggling with communication in your relationship, seeking counseling can be incredibly helpful. A trained professional can help you and your spouse work through your issues and develop healthier communication habits.
Take Time For Yourself
No matter what decision you make, it's important to take time for yourself. Take a break from the situation to reflect on your feelings and needs. This time can also help you develop healthier communication habits and strategies.
Ultimately, the decision to pursue divorce or reconciliation is a personal one that only you can make. However, by focusing on effective communication, honesty, and self-care, you'll be better equipped to make the best decision for yourself and your relationship.
