Answer
  
     
  We all have times when we don't feel listened to. And when that happens, we feel hurt and disappointed and angry. We wonder why we are not important enough to be listened to. We are creatures of habit and not listening or being listened to are habits that we can develop.  
     
  Why doesn't your spouse listen to you? You have asked yourself and your spouse that question and the answer, or lack of one, is bothersome, to say the least. Do you give up or do you keep on trying? Has not being heard become a way of life for you?  
     
  As a marriage and family therapist, one of the greatest problems that I confront in therapy is the lack of communication and understanding in relationships. People feel so mis-understood and hurt about the lack of love and intimacy in their lives. They feel so lonely and want to find the love that eludes them in their marriages. We have a self help program available for purchase at our Self Change Store which can help couples learn how to get along better and to have the love and intimacy that they are seeking.

  Sometimes when words are not effective, writing your spouse a short note asking for a time to meet and share can set the stage for effective communication. Sometimes, going for a weekend romantic rendevous can set the stage for meaningful communication. If we can break those habits which interfere with our communication we will find the intimate talk that we are all seeking.  
     
  Trying these suggestions can lead to meaningful change and happiness. Try it, you'll like it! What do you have to lose but unhappiness and loneliness?
