Dealing directly with indirect communication
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Indirect communication is all too common, springing from a desire to be polite, to avoid offending or imposing on others or a fear of expressing your own desires and having them rejected.

If your beloved, respected husband asks for something indirectly it can be confusing, especially if you are both trying to please each other but won’t say exactly what you want. The solution is to either ask your husband exactly what he wants rather than leaving him to flap around the subject dropping hints, or to say clearly what you want (while being willing to compromise).

An example from my own household is my husband asking “what do you plan to do today?” in the vague hope that my plans will meet his, I’ve found that being clear and honest is the best step forward so I either say “I haven’t made plans yet, what would you like to do?” or “I was planning to do XYZ, but I am willing to change if you want.”

I’ve come such a long way since my work with you

I was in such a mess with that relationship. I worked through my worthiness, self-love, finding myself and building my relationship with Allah. You introduced me to a whole new world

Sara empowered me to set boundaries, and stand up for myself.

She reminded me about my intentions and goals, and in general to have a much happier marriage and life.

Universal Principles

Principles that you can apply to any aspect of your life and relationships not just in marriage!

Nearly on the verge of divorce

Attending this two-day workshop was a memorable experience.

It helped my marriage at a time when it was nearly on the verge of a divorce.

Alhamdulillah, this is 6 years of a peaceful marriage – been married 18 years now.

I began seeing the man I married that very evening.

I came to the session thinking it cant help my marriage that drastically but the effects were instantaneous!

I now have the tools to continue making improvements within my marriage, most importantly changes within myself.

Sara has helped me in so many ways!

By allowing me to feel more empowered, by showing me how to action boundaries,

by helping me to find my self-esteem,

by explaining how other people may be feeling and how to understand this,

by enabling me to do self-care things which are helpful to me.
