The Great Equalizer: Communication (or Lack Thereof)

In a shocking revelation celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser shares the real reason behind most divorces. And surprise it's not extramarital affairs or unhealthy drinking habits. It's something no one likes to do but is essential for a successful relationship: communicate. Yes folks talking to your partner is the key to a long and happy marriage. Who would've thought?

Communication Tools and Unsexy Conversations

Wasser emphasizes the importance of developing communication tools during the good times before things go south. And guess what? These communication tools can come in handy when you're faced with uncomfortable conversations like whether to send your kids to private school or having your in laws move in. Not exactly romantic pillow talk but it might just save you a whole lot of money and heartache in the long run.

Changing Needs and Unsaid Desires

As relationships evolve so do our needs. But how can your partner fulfill those needs if you don't communicate them? Wasser highlights the challenges of discussing uncomfortable topics like aging and self image. It's a hard pill to swallow but unless you open up resentment will build and you'll find solace in other things. Probably like hacking robots or something.
