Can you hear me out me first? - Communication seems simple yet it is the most difficult thing for some couples. Whilst couples seem to engage better in endless topics during courtship days, conversations get difficult when married couples struggle with their communication over time. Communication is not just what we say to each other, but how we express ourselves to our partner at the most appropriate time and place. In this talk, the speaker will help couples explore and understand the unspoken feelings and thoughts hidden in day-to-day communication. Interested parties can register at the venue at 1.30pm or via rom@marriagecentral.sg. Trainer’s Profile Mr Jonathan Siew is Centre Manager and Senior Counsellor of Care Corner Counselling Centre. He holds a B.A. in Psychology and Master in Counselling.
