Couple Communication Worksheet

It is recommended that couples use the worksheet at least once every few months or as needed, depending on their level of communication and any issues that arise in their relationship. This can make a difference in their lives.

It is highly recommended that both partners complete the worksheet to gain a better understanding of each other's communication styles, approach to conflict resolution, emotional needs, and relationship goals.

If one partner doesn't want to answer the worksheet, it’s important to avoid forcing the issue, as this can lead to negative cycles of resistance. The first thing to do is explore why they feel hesitant, showing understanding and emphasizing the value of mutual effort in the relationship. Encourage them to start small, such as discussing a single question, to ease into the process and explore ways to strengthen their connection.
