Good communication is one of the most important elements of a successful marriage. In order to have good communication, it is important to create the time to communicate. Choose a time each day to spend time together. Talk about your day. And then talk about the deeper things. And really listen to each other. Make sure your partner feels heard. Do this by asking questions and reflecting on what the other person says. Sometimes feedback is good and sometimes a person just needs to feel heard. Ask your partner what they need. Ask how you can be there for them. 

  Through this real, intimate and consistent communication you will learn to know your partner so well that you will begin to know what they need at the time, and you will be able to be there for them. Take the time to care about this other person with whom you have chosen to share this time and space.
