you can encourage, maybe you can go for counseling,
bottom line; you cannot change another person. if you try
to make someone into something they don't want to be you
will both wind up upset and disappointed.How do you get your spouse to communicate with you and take it seriously?
When I want to with my husband I just say ';I'd like to have a serious talk with you sometime this evening with NO fighting. So, could you please let me know when your done?'; (with whatever he's doing at that moment) Now all I have to say is ';family meeting'; and he's ready to have a serious discussion. No jokes. No arguing. No yelling.
I will usually ask him if he has time to sit down and talk, and when he has the time, I make sure there are no distractions e..g tv.,radio, calls, etc. Then I approach whatever the subject I have in a calm manner while doing my best to not point blame in any direction but more focus on how to improve or solve the problem at hand, asking for his feedback first is always helpful to get it started. I notice often people will start off a conversation blaming the other, and so I make sure to step back and try a more tactful approach.
Get the book, Connecting with Your Wife, then do what it says. Then, get the book Communication, Sex and Money from Dr. Ed Cole. Do What It Says!! You will love life, so will your spouse!
Kindly let him know that when he has a moment, you'd like to get his opinion on something.
I'm having the same problem with my husband
if that's the case then why did u marry her inthe first place?
You can't make them. Go to counseling.
sit him down and tell him how you feel. show him little by little that you trust him and that your his best friend instead of getting mad at things ignore it if its a little problem then little by little he will open up.
I guess I would have to say if you didn't have good communication prior to marriage, why would you think you would have it after!! And also consider your presentation. If you are constantly just going after him, why would he want to communicate. Learn better communication skills, treat him with respect and don't nag. Ask his opinion on things and in general don't give him reason to tune you out. Men are not interested in the mundane things women want to scratch about. Find other ways to make your presentations.
Not knowing the full background of the situation. I would say when you talk to her/him is it without distraction. No conversation should ever take place on the phone, in the car, or around where other people can eavesdrop and put there two cent in. Talk somewhere without interruption would be a start for me.
