Why please and thank you are important to your marriage

Do you talk to your partner as kindly as you talk to your best friend? We often give friends, coworkers, and even strangers more patience and courtesy than we give the person we love most. When we’re comfortable in a relationship, it can become easy to snap, criticize, use sarcasm, roll our eyes, or let our tone become harsher than we realize. In this video, I talk about the importance of communicating with your spouse or partner in a calm, respectful way—even when you’re frustrated or disagree. You’ll learn how to use the simple “best friend test” to check your tone, why being kind doesn’t mean avoiding conflict or being passive, and how small changes in the way you speak to each other can help create a healthier relationship. The challenge: For one week, try not to speak to your partner in a way you wouldn’t speak to a good friend. Your partner shouldn’t have to be a stranger to get the nicest version of you.
