Top Reasons Couples Stop Listening To Each Other
Why it discourages listening
If you need to give your partner a note, always lead with something positive. “I read your screenplay. I love the plot twists. Scene descriptions are beautiful. It’s such a fun story. One little thing you may consider fixing is…” See how that sounds so much better than just coming in hot with the critique? If you only point out the things your partner does wrong, he’ll stop listening to you, because he’ll feel that you just look for the bad stuff and don’t even acknowledge the things he does right.
