How can communication issues contribute to divorce problems?

When it is used as a means to retaliate or manipulate, the silent treatment not only prolongs conflict but also erodes the respect the couple have for each other.

True, not talking may quench your thirst for retaliation or compel your spouse to give in to your wishes or their's, but is that really how you want to treat someone whom you have vowed to love?

Communication is how you got together in the first place! It was all about what you learned about the other person not yourself, that made you want to say,
"I Do".

Think of “we” instead of “me.” The Bible says: “Let each one keep seeking, not his own advantage, but that of the other person.” (1 Corinthians 10:24)
