Jane and her husband Tim decided to work on their marital problems. They were married four years ago in a wedding where they felt they found their soulmate.\u00a0 Tim began to talk first,\u00a0but he really was reluctant to come in and was anxious to leave. “She doesn’t care about what I think and does whatever she wants. I try to talk to her but she’s not interested in anything I have to say. I tell her about my work and all of my frustrations on my job in sales, but she’s not interested in anything I have to say.” At this point, Tim lowered his head towards the floor and seemed ready to walk out of the room.<\/p>\n
Jane didn’t want to look at Tim, and seemed not interested in anything that he said.\u00a0 But then sne blurted out: “I don’t know what you’re talking about Tim, but you don’t care what I think.\u00a0 You never show any interest in me and you don’t pay attention to anything I say!” Jane was furious, and she wanted to continue the ‘attack.” She was waiting for him to say something. But now there was an eerie silence in the room.<\/p>\n
The couple is drifting apart, and there is a greater emotional distance between them.\u00a0 It seems that they no longer have anything in common.\u00a0 And they didn’t want to be here.\u00a0 They would rather be miles apart at this moment.<\/p>\n
After four years of marriage Jane and Tim have stopped being supportive of each other.\u00a0 They didn’t talk with each other in a loving and supportive way since the first year together.\u00a0 Jane\u00a0 and Tim have been going their separate ways for at least two years.\u00a0 They were both angry and unhappy in the relationship.\u00a0 They don’t share a partnership together.\u00a0 Intimacy is lacking.\u00a0 They are strangers in the same house.\u00a0 They could no longer provide support for each other.<\/p>\n
The only way that this couple can resolve the problem and to be more supportive of each other, is to create a new partnership that would be supportive to both of their needs.\u00a0 This will require a lot of work, and working on new communication skills.\u00a0 But they can’t do this unless they feel a commitment toward each other.\u00a0 Fortunately in this case the couple decided to work on their problems and to learn to be more caring and supportive of each other.\u00a0 There is hope for this relationship.<\/p>\n
Supportive Communication is Healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n Supportive communication is the path towards mutual bonding of a couple that is responsive to the needs of the other.\u00a0 Both partners are attuned to the other’s needs.\u00a0 There is a good feeling of love between each other.\u00a0 Unsupportive communication engenders negative emotions in both spouses.\u00a0 These negative emotions can affect the health of the individuals. The immune and endocrine systems of the body get out of control\u00a0 and produce stress hormones, such as cortisone.\u00a0 The body’s health is in jeopardy, with the potential of causing physical conditions, such as arthritis, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, among others.\u00a0 The emotional health of the couple is also endangered with possibilities of depression or anxiety.\u00a0 Therefore unsupportive communication not only wrecks the relationship, but is dangerous to one’s overall health.<\/p>\n In essence, improving or preventing\u00a0problems in the marriage\u00a0will help you\u00a0to feel love again.\u00a0 Your communication will be more supportive.\u00a0 Love will be expressed.\u00a0You will be healthier. \u00a0You will no longer just be ‘married’:\u00a0\u00a0You will be partners!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jane and her husband Tim decided to work on their marital problems.
