Dear Cassie and Jason,

It’s wonderful that you two have decided to become husband and wife. Thank you for allowing me to give you advice on communicating with each other. You can learn so many interpersonal communication skills but if you do not apply them to your marriage then you might end up getting a divorce. “There are many interpersonal communication skills that will help couples to communicate effectively (Sole, 2011)”. In order for you to understand communication skills and be able to apply them in your marriage. “Effective communication skills enable a couple to express their thoughts and feelings, they are able to effectively listen to their spouse, as well as knowing that that they are being heard and understood (Sole, 2011)”. Relationships are not based on how much we love other but it is also built on how you can communicate with each other.

My first word of advice to you in this new marriage that you will need to identify barriers that will affect your interpersonal interaction. First identify any physical barriers that you think might be an issue now or later on in the marriage. Sit down and figure out the challenges that you feel may make a difference, talk about the issues that may be a barrier
