When it comes to getting your significant other to listen and pay attention, you might find yourself struggling. You might feel frustrated and don’t understand why they won’t listen to you. Can you relate? I know how frustrating it can be as I’ve been there before with my own husband. But even though your spouse doesn’t seem to have the same trouble understanding that listening is important, there are lots of tactics that can help make sure he pays attention. Let’s look at 10 tips for getting him to listen.
1. Have a Conversation With Him
Odds are you’ve found yourself talking to him about the same topic a lot. Your main problem might be that he often refuses to listen and maybe he takes the conversation as flirting. So, talk to him about all the areas of your life where you don’t agree. Make sure it’s a serious conversation and that you discuss all your concerns with him. Look directly at him (don’t check your phone or move away, etc) so that he knows you’re serious and actually listen.
2. Compliment Him
This should be a no-brainer but it also helps. Tell him how great he is. Tell him that you’re proud of his good qualities. He will certainly listen to you if he knows you think he’s good! And since this is important, take the time to let him know all the things that make you like him…
