The truth is, how we speak, approach and even how we feel about our partner, sets a tone of our words which determines how the conversation will go and how it’ll end. It can even predict how the relationship will grow further. When we start off a conversation gently with respect, rather than using harsh and sarcastic words, our chances of being heard and answered back rise up dramatically. Dr. John Gottman’s research has shown that how couples start a conversation, not only determines the flow of the conversation but also the flow of the whole relationship.
