Imagine dropping a microphone in your own mind or your partner\\u2019s mind to amplify what is really going on there, and asking why? When we or our partner react to something or use words or a tone of voice, we can think about why that reaction, why those words or tone of voice? Mindsight is about questioning \\u201cWhy does he suddenly look upset?\\u201d, \\u201cWhy am I feeling lonely?\\u201d or \\u201cWhy am I anxious\\u201d or \\u201cWhat did she just respond to, have I been too dismissive?\\u201d<\\/p><p>Can you see that by asking these questions and thinking deeply it is not simplistically labeling or judging ourselves or someone else as \\u201ccruel\\u201d, \\u201csulky\\u201d or \\u201cselfish\\u201d? These labels happen often in couple relationships and can cause upset and or even fights. It is about looking beneath the surface, and not simply making assumptions or judgments about yourself or your partner. It is deeper and more caring than that and can decrease fights and make a relationship significantly happier.<\\/p><p>The second essential part of couple mindedness is having minds that think about the quality and wellbeing of the couple relationship. How do we do this? It is the partners who need to do this. At certain times we need to assess whether the relationship feels good or not, whether we need a bit more fun together, whether we need more sex, whether we are spending enough time with our partner, whether we are feeling a bit distant from our partner or them from us, whether we need to put a regular date night in, whether we need a couple break away from the kids, or even whether we may need to get some therapy to help the relationship.<\\/p><p>Without this part of couple mindedness, we cannot make changes when needed, and this ability is vital for a\\u00a0<a href=\\\"https:\\/\\/www.lissyabrahams.com\\/how-to-improve-communication-among-partners\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"noopener\\\">healthy relationship<\\/a>.<\\/p>\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false}]'),(4812,3815,'_elementor_page_assets','a:0:{}'),(4813,3815,'_wp_old_date','2022-07-18'),(4814,3815,'_thumbnail_id','3818'),(4827,3816,'_elementor_edit_mode','builder'),(4828,3816,'_wp_page_template','default'),(4829,3816,'_elementor_template_type','wp-post'),(4830,3816,'_elementor_version','3.6.7'),(4831,3816,'_elementor_pro_version','3.6.5'),(4832,3816,'_elementor_data','[{\"id\":\"98c2662\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"9c0a391\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"626734a\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"<p>There are so many relationships that could be much healthier and happier if partners learnt how to resolve their conflict and improve their communication.<span id=\\\"more-1\\\"><\\/span><\\/p><p>As a therapist, I can tell you that no relationship can be healthy and develop throughout life without good communication.
