Communication is the key to a long and healthy marriage. That’s why in this week’s episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell explores communication strategies for a stronger marriage.

There are many challenges when it comes to successful communication in marriage, including misunderstandings and mismatched intentions. Dr. Alexandra emphasizes the importance of being clear about the type of conversation you’re about to have with your partner in order to create a win-win outcome.

You’ll also learn the pros and cons of different conversation types—whether it's logistical planning, venting, or vulnerable sharing—and how each one contributes to a healthier relationship. Through relatable anecdotes and actionable insights, you will gain practical tools to enhance the communication in your marriage, deepening your connection with your spouse.

Specific tips in this episode:

• For couples where one partner tends to be more expressive, setting a clear timeframe for discussions can prevent feelings of being trapped.

• Stop conversations while in a harmonious state, rather than waiting for things to become contentious, to better foster trust and openness for future discussions.

• Recognize that communication needs vary among couples depending on life stage, such as having young children or business co-ownership.
