It's curious how in the 21st century, many people attribute the success of their relationships to specific things, things like their shared goals, the number of years they've been together, things like how good sex they have, whether or not they have children.

No one ever stops to consider the importance of assertive communication in a relationship. It's extremely important to mention that, in addition to communication, empathy is necessary, since it's useless to have many things to communicate if the other person isn't willing to listen empathetically.

Have you ever stopped to think...

Why are there couples who love each other intensely and end up separating?

The answer is: because they were unable to communicate.

To prevent this from happening to you, we bring you a foolproof technique to improve communication with your partner.

This time we will do it so that you can communicate assertively with your partner (male).

If you'd like us to write an article about this focused on a (female) couple, please leave your request in the comments box.

This technique stems from the human roots of male behavior: men are taught from childhood to think, not to feel.

That's why many times when you start an argument with your partner with the "I feel" argument, they automatically become unable to receive the message.

This is because, from childhood, they are wrongly taught that they have to be the strong ones, the rational ones, the ones who take the reins. If we begin the argument with an "I feel" we are condemning ourselves because now there will be an 85% probability that the response we receive will be "you should not feel that, do not feel that."

That response, of course, only leaves us frustrated and dissatisfied, and to prevent this from happening, the technique consists of changing the way we speak.

Just as you read it, change the way we speak and replace “I feel” with “I think” in every discussion from now on.

It may seem stupid to us, but it works.

To give a brief example, it is not the same to say:

“I feel like we shouldn't go with your mom today because we always go.”

To one: “I think another day we can go with your mom because today I want to do something else.”

The “I think” is 100% more objective and less emotional than the “I feel,” so when you learn to include it when arguing with your partner, you'll guarantee that he or she will be able to process your message better.

Just like this technique, there are thousands more that are simple and extremely effective. If you're interested in learning more, be sure to follow us on our social media so you don't miss out on all our weekly content.
