Tuning In to Your Partner’s Needs
One effective strategy is to listen actively and fully. Shift your focus from the words to the emotions—what’s bothering you, what you need, what they need.

Observing WHAT They N Ear

Pay attention to your partner’s approach or withdrawal when stress is rising. upcoming changes might signal a shift in their mindset, so communicate openly during these times.
Thinking Differently
Decoding these signals requires a clear understanding beyond words. Use nonverbal cues like body language and facial expressions as amirror to their emotions. Research shows that maintaining space can be as important as your words: a space of purpose fosters connection, much more so than a ready heap of papers.

Decoding your partner’s needs isn’t just about surviving conflicts; it’s about finding the common ground where both parties truly trust and understand each other.
