Some couples create problems for themselves by assuming they know what their spouse is thinking. Some even go so far as to complete sentences and attempt speaking for their spouse. These kinds of behaviors and assumptions do not enhance communication, they actually obstruct it. communication is more than just the words, it also includes the interaction between the spouses. Communication involves the two people connecting with each other on mental, emotional and spiritual levels. It includes giving each other time and space to speak what is on their mind. This is especially critical when there has been an affair. You may have a very good idea what your spouse is thinking, but they need you to allow them to speak for themselves. You need them to speak for themselves. When both spouses speak for themselves, then they can talk through things. When only one speaks for both, there is no communication going on. There is plenty of talking but no communication.
