Beberapa tip itu:

1. Saat sedang marah, kita jadi lupa bahwa kita sedang marah dengan orang-orang yang sebenarnya kita sayangi.
2. Jangan membahas masalah penting saat sedang sibuk atau tertekan
3. Boleh meminta, tapi jangan menuntut. Meminta tidak harus dipenuhi, tetapi menuntut harus selalu dipenuhi
4. Bahas satu masalah dalam satu waktu.
5. Alih-alih "kau membuatku kecewa" ganti dengan "aku merasa kecewa."
6. Carilah "permohonan" di balik suaru protes atau keluhan atau amarah
7. Jangan jadi cenayang terhadap perasaan orang lain, tanyakan. Ungkapkan!

This is a small book but has great tips. It’s a great book to have for any relationship, not just couples because it is helpful to have clear communication in all kinds of relationships. I like how the tips are simple but then give more detailed examples.

Quick book with great tips. Would be good to do a tip at a time as a daily or weekly discussion and action with Andrew
