THE LIST OF THINGS YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR PARTNER IS PROBABLY QUITE LONG. LIKE
INFINITE JEST LONG. BECAUSE OF COURSE IT IS. YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES THEM LAUGH,
WHAT MAKES THEM SEETHE, WHAT MAKES THEM BLUSH. YOU PROBABLY KNOW THEIR DESSERT
OF CHOICE, COFFEE PREFERENCE, AND THAT STORY FROM THEIR CHILDHOOD BY HEART. BUT
THERE’S ALWAYS MORE TO LEARN. AND WHEN PLAYING A ROUND OF “HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW
YOUR SPOUSE?” IT’S WISE TO HAVE ROCK-SOLID ANSWERS TO SOME OTHER QUESTIONS AT
THE READY. QUESTIONS THAT TOUCH ON THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, BECAUSE
UNDERSTANDING THE ANSWERS WILL HELP YOU AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP IN MANY WAYS.

TIPS AND TRICKS
IS THERE EMOTIONAL DISTANCE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP? REMEMBER THIS
A LACK OF EMOTIONAL CONNECTION IS A COMMON ISSUE THERAPISTS SEE. WITH THE PUSH
AND PULL OF EVERYDAY LIFE SENDING COUPLES OFF IN A VARIETY OF DIRECTIONS, IT CAN
BE VERY EASY TO GET LOST AND HAVE ONE’S FOCUS SHIFT. BEFORE TOO LONG, COUPLES
FEEL AS THOUGH THEY’RE ON COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS WITHOUT ANY WAY TO
REACH EACH OTHER. “THIS CAN SET THE PARTNERS ON OPPOSITE SIDES,” SAYS MICHELE
GOLDMAN, A PSYCHOLOGIST AND HOPE FOR DEPRESSION RESEARCH FOUNDATION MEDIA
ADVISOR, “AND CAN EASILY LEAD TO FOLKS BECOMING DEFENSIVE ABOUT THEIR POSITION
AND FEELING UNHEARD BY YOUR PARTNER.”
IF YOU SENSE AN EMOTIONAL DISTANCE FROM DIFFERENT COURSES, WHAT DO YOU DO? BRING
IT UP. IT’S IMPORTANT TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE DISCONNECT AND
TO PROBLEM-SOLVE TOGETHER ABOUT WHAT WOULD WORK TO RESOLVE THIS FOR BOTH OF YOU.
“IF YOU’VE FALLEN INTO A RUT AND FEEL STAGNANT IN YOUR PATTERNS,” SAYS GOLDMAN,
“TALK TOGETHER ABOUT HOW TO CHANGE IT UP.” IT MAY SOUND OBVIOUS, BUT DISCUSSING
THE ISSUE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND A SOLUTION.
HERE ARE SOME MORE MARRIAGE ISSUES THERAPISTS SEE FREQUENTLY— AND THEIR
SUGGESTIONS FOR MOVING PAST THEM.

TIPS AND TRICKS
HOW TO CONVINCE A CHILD TO TALK ABOUT THEIR DAY
- START EARLY – ESTABLISHING A FAMILY TRADITION OF TALKING ABOUT THE DAY BUILDS
COMMUNICATIONS HABITS IN KIDS.
- BE PATIENT – A CHILD MAY RESIST ANSWERING QUESTIONS. SIMPLY SPENDING SOME TIME
WITH A CHILD DOING SOMETHING ELSE CAN GIVE THEM THE SPACE TO OPEN UP.
- BE SILLY – KIDS CAN BE DISARMED BY AN OFF-THE-WALL QUESTION THAT MAKES THEM
LAUGH OR GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO CORRECT THEIR PARENTS.
- BE SLY – ASKING FOR ADVICE ON A SITUATION THAT MIRRORS THE CHILD’S CAN
ENCOURAGE THE CHILD TO OPEN UP.
- MAKE IT COUNT – PARENTS NEED TO REALLY LISTEN TO THEIR KIDS, PARTICULARLY IF
THE KID IS GENERALLY TACITURN.
THIS IS WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT HELPING A KID OPEN UP MORE.
