3 KEY Skills To Better Your Communication With Your Spouse

In Part 2 of the communication series, we break down two skills that make hard conversations feel safer: validation and active listening. You’ll learn what validation actually is, how to reflect what you heard without agreeing, and how to catch yourself when you are defensive listening. Then we cover repair attempts, what to say when you need a do-over mid-conversation, and a simple reset cue you can use to reconnect before a small moment becomes a bigger fight. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I get it — but I don’t know how to do this when I’m actually triggered,” that’s exactly why we created our Relationship Renovation Patreon community. Patreon is where we help couples practice these communication skills in real life, not just understand them. Inside the community, you’ll get deeper teaching, live Q&As with us, and support applying validation, repair, and emotional safety to your actual relationship — not a hypothetical one.   / relationshiprenovationpodcast   And if you’re realizing that communication issues in your relationship feel stuck, repetitive, or emotionally charged, and you don’t want to keep trying to figure it out alone, we also offer private coaching and discovery calls. Some patterns need personalized support to untangle — especially when triggers, old wounds, or trust issues are involved — and that’s okay.
