Communication Assessment
By Steven Martin & Catherine Martin - (c) The Positive Way

Communication requires two people. Issues will remain unsettled unless you and your partner agree to communicate. We recommend that you agree to communicate with the guidelines of understanding, kindness, honesty and respect as ground rules. These guidelines will serve to reduce tension and remind you both that you are on the same team. As a couple agree to your own discussion rules which can include such things as time-outs for cooling off or thinking.  Answer the questions below to learn more about your view of communication and how it should be.  For a print version click here.
