Dear husband - Day 4

Communicate effectively

Communicating effectively is a skill; a life skill really, that we learn only through experience. Just like how a baby who only uses body language or facial expressions or baby-talk to communicate with the parents. Yes, initially it would be difficult for the parents to understand because when a baby cries, it can be either they are hungry/have full diaper/sleepy/feeling unwell. However, through experience or rather, experiments, the parents will understand their baby more effectively. 




Thanks husband for the first lesson. You have taught me how to communicate more effectively, not just to you but also to all the people I talk to.

Many times, we might communicate with another person, thinking that we have conveyed our message effectively, or assuming that the other person has understood, but yet ended up with misunderstanding which leads to argument. This is me.

You always taught me not to assume that you understand what I am feeling when I do not talk. It doesn't mean that when we are husband and wife, you will understand me even when I am not talking literally. This is true. When I have a sad face, it could mean a lot of things. You always say, do not always assume you know all my 'patterns'.  ;P

Now that we are into our 9 months of marriage, I have given myself some 'new' ways to communicate to you more effectively. Watch out for my new 'patterns'. ;P
