How can couples improve communication in their marriage?

Couples may not understand their feelings properly if distanced themselves.

There will not be a complete trust amount themselves, i. suspicious of cheating either on them.

They may hardly understand their real identities which may lead to less confidence within them.

Cultural differences can bring problems in marriage. Couples of different cultural backgrounds will hardly adapt to each other one.

Each of the couples may want some of the things to be done based on the culture he/she is used to, and the couple may not be comfortable with it.

There will be suspicion on either of the partners when a relative of the other one pays a visit and discusses in a language the other one doesn't understand.

Some of the couples' cultures may not blend, so what the other wants, the other may not be comfortable with, which may result in unhealthy living.

In a nutshell, to be successful in marriage, there should be love and trust among them. And also, couples should learn to tolerate their cultural differences.

This is my story for the week and I would like to invite @vickyson @josepha and @dave-hanny to join the contest.
