Tabarak Anwer’s Reviews > Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married > Status Update

I had always said to my
husband,
‘We need to talk.’
That sentence always put
him in a bad mood. Now I
say,
‘At your convenience,
I would like to request a
time that I can listen to
you.’ He never waits long
until he says to me,
‘So,
you want to listen to my
ideas, right?’ ‘Yes,
’ I respond and we set a time
for listening. Requesting a
time for listening creates a
much different
atmosphere.”
