Exercise "Milk" by Dmitry Karpachev for husband and wife

When married, each spouse begins a new life, but the habits do not disappear. We have to get to know each other, from now on many household tasks have to be solved together. Is it really so hard for a husband to just wash the dishes and his wife to stop talking with hints? Women and men think differently and often have disagreements, no matter how much they love each other.



A conflict with a loved one always leaves an imprint. But fighting doesn't mean you're out of love. Psychologists say that those for whom relationships are important quarrel, it is just difficult for people to understand each other. Why is this happening? Because a person is unable to read thoughts and sometimes needs to speak directly about their feelings.



We often misinterpret, pay little attention to simple conversations, do not want to share our thoughts and are afraid that we will be misunderstood. It is unlikely that understanding will come by itself, so there is a need for conversation, and what else.



Today, the editors will tell how loving spouses can come to an understanding through a simple exercise. This exercise was proposed by psychologist and TV presenter Dmitry Karpachev and called it “Milk”.



You will need two sheets of paper and a writing subject. Each spouse should write ten words associated with the word milk. Don’t talk about your assumptions out loud when you’re done, compare your answers. Usually, there are no more than 60% coincidences, which is just one simple word.



Imagine how many coincidences there can be with the perception of such complex and important concepts as love, care, responsibility, attention. The concept of care for the husband can mean the material security of the family and its physical security. For a wife, care is gifts, conversations, hugs and help around the house. The fact is that if you do not say this, there is misunderstanding and conflict.



Discussing such important issues with your loved one, you make it clear what is bothering you and how you would act in this situation. A quiet five-minute conversation heals, brings clarity and harmony to a relationship. Don’t be offended by someone because they don’t understand you. We should try to help him understand you.



Heart-to-heart conversations bring together and help strengthen communication with a life partner. So you make it clear to each other that you value the relationship and want it to be strong. No need to look for flaws in loved ones, everyone has these flaws. It is important to support in difficult times with a kind word. After all, if you talk with your spouse more often about what worries you, what upsets you and what pleases you, you can become happy.



Communication in the family helps to build healthy relationships, which over the years the marriage will only be stronger. Being a loyal friend and loving husband or wife for your partner is very easy when you have trust and mutual understanding.
