The Problem
Communication problems are consistently cited as the #1 reason for divorce or breakups
Instead of discussing their frustrations openly, couples let resentment build up.
For example, Olivia & Daniel:
When Daniel tried to talk about their finances, Olivia would shut down, feeling overwhelmed.
His first thought? “She just doesn’t care or I’m not important to her”
Daniel was not able to see that Olivia was stressed, while Olivia felt unheard and dismissed.
They both did one mistake: Instead of having an honest conversation, they retreated into assumptions.
We convert misread emotions into toxic assumptions, which long term, pile up.
Another example, Ana & George:
Ana felt overwhelmed with chores. George believed he was doing other more important things.
They both thought “I’m not appreciated enough”
Instead of discussing in a calm way, resentment built up.
Every minor disagreement brought up old, unresolved issues.
Unspoken communication creates frustration in a relationship, which inevitably leads to big conflicts.
All these scenarios sound familiar? And the examples could go on and on.
For some reason in our relationships we can have endless arguments, about anything.
Fortunately, there are solutions to our communication problems before it’s not too late.
The Solution
What if you knew exactly what to say?
Therapists and relationship experts use multiple proven techniques to help couples communicate better.
Techniques like:
“I” Statements – “I feel hurt when…” instead of “You always…”
Active Listening – Pay attention when your partner talks with you and reflect back what your partner said before responding
Validation – Acknowledging their feelings even when you disagree
Soft Startup – How you bring up an issue determines 96% of how the conversation ends (Gottman research)
Use De-escalation phrases that stop arguments
Express Needs, Not Complaints – “I need more quality time” vs “You’re never around”
Time-Outs – Know when to pause and revisit
Mirroring – Repeat their words to show understanding
These are just a few.
The problem? These techniques are hard to remember in the heat of the moment. That’s why we made Twino.
