IMPROVING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION    PASTOR MRS  CHIKA NNANNA-IGWE .

Improving communication with your partner can greatly strengthen your relationship. Here are some tips to help you:

1. Active listening: Practice active

listening by fully focusing on what your partner is saying without interrupting or formulating a response in your mind. Show genuine interest and empathy, and provide feedback to ensure you understand their message correctly.


2. Express yourself clearly: Be clear and concise when expressing your thoughts and feelings. Use "I" statements to avoid sounding accusatory or critical. Clearly communicate your needs, desires, and concerns, while being open to hearing your partner's perspective.


3. Non-verbal communication: Pay attention to your non-verbal cues, such as body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. Be aware of how your non-verbal signals may impact the message you are trying to convey. Maintain good eye contact, use open and relaxed body language, and speak in a calm and respectful tone.


4. Practice empathy: Put yourself in your partner's shoes and try to understand their perspective. Show empathy by acknowledging their feelings and validating their experiences. This will help create an atmosphere of trust and understanding.


5. Be mindful of timing: Choose the right time and place for important discussions. Avoid having serious conversations when either of you is tired, stressed, or distracted. Find a peaceful and comfortable environment where you can both focus on each other.


6. Avoid assumptions: Clarify any assumptions you may have about your partner's thoughts or intentions. Instead of assuming, ask open-ended questions to gain a better understanding of their perspective.


7. Resolve conflicts constructively: When conflicts arise, approach them with a problem-solving mindset rather than attacking or blaming each other. Use "I" statements to express how certain behaviors or situations make you feel, and work together to find mutually beneficial solutions.


8. Seek professional help if needed: If you're struggling with communication issues that you can't resolve on your own, consider seeking the help of a couples therapist or relationship counselor. They can provide guidance and teach you effective communication techniques.


Remember, improving communication is an ongoing process that requires effort and commitment from both partners. Be patient, understanding, and willing to learn from each other.

Donald Trump's recent declaration to female voters that  "I will be your protector ' offered the latest demonstration of the former president’s determination to consolidate the voters most committed to traditional gender roles and family structures – a culturally conservative group that includes not only many men but also a large number of women. In the process, though, political strategists in both parties believe the GOP nominee risks further alienating the broad array of voters who are comfortable with the social changes that have challenged those traditional patterns of family life, especially women. Younger, college-educated and single women are likely to be particula...
