Marital Communication

For class not too long ago, I watched a video on marital communication called the Love Lab.  I really enjoyed this video and although i was very short and to the point, I believe that the insight within was much too good not to share.  The video is about a couple who has been married for a few years and have pretty  significant disagreements about financial issues, as many of us will probably face in our future (or current) relationships.  According to the video, a "secret" to making love last is to always be ready to resolve conflict as a team. We need to be able to discuss our dreams individually and decide what it will take to get there, together.  We need to be up front about our feelings, and the husband needs to make sure that he is letting his wife also be powerful rather than always taking the initiative to make the major decisions himself.  We need to truly listen to each other and take things one step at a time.  We need to find a dream together and work together to make that dream a reality. I really liked this video because it is something that we will all face at one point or another in our lives (most likely) and I feel that it is important to be prepared for things like this, because if we are not, our relationship with our spouse will most likely suffer.
