Through my digging out, and trying to reach the other side, while trying to beat the clock before the alarm sounds that my marriage is officially over, I have done a lot of introspection and dissection of my myself, my husband and our marriage.
I can't stress enough how important communication is in a relationship - any relationship. If this skill isn't practiced and nurtured, it can't develop into something that is valuable and workable once all the distractions are removed, especially in a marriage; children, pets, jobs, social commitments and any other things that we use as a way to comfortably not interact with our spouse.

| My little feathered friends have learned how to communicate. |

| They are actually very good, and could teach us a thing or two. |
Communication
takes work and can easily be avoided, but the void will catch up with you down
the road, and by then it may be too late. Once you learn how to get a dialog
started, engage your spouse, and work on keeping the dialog open, the hardest work
is done and the rewards will be immeasurable.
I
wish someone had communicated this to us twenty years ago.
