Why is it so hard for me to communicate with my husband?

We have been married now for four months now, although we have lived together for four years. Our
<br>relationship is wonderful as long as there is not any conflict. I can't seem to communicate in a way
<br>that he understands me when we have a disagreement or a misunderstanding. I always feel, because of
<br>his actions and tone of voice at these times, that I am in the wrong. Where, the way I see it is neither
<br>one of us were in the wrong...I was just in the dark and didn't know what he had planned. What can I
<br>do? I've tried talking, but that just leads to silence and more anger from him and more frustration
<br>from me. And when I get angry I tend to cry easy, I slam doors...I never hit. I thought about writing,
<br>but don't know if that would convey my true feelings either. I need suggestions ASAP.

Babe,
<p>If you've really looked over this website in detail and like what you see, I'd suggest that you ask your husband to do the same. Another approach is to order either "Give and Take" or the "Four Gifts of Love" and read them together.
<p>Your problems aren't serious... yet. But there are a whole lot of people here who wish that they had worked on loving communication skills with their spouses years ago: me included. Conflict resolution is not hard, but you have to learn not to worry about 'right and wrong'; there are always two opinions in a marriage, and you need to come to an agreeable resolution on issues.
<p>Sounds really easy. But it takes time, patience, and practice.
