Create an atmosphere of trust

• keep an open mind and avoid judgments. if your partner feels accepted and respected he or she will likely open up more
• genuinely want to listen and understand the other person's point of view
• show respect by allowing your partner to fully finish his or her thought without interrupting
• avoid bringing up past grievances and concentrate solely on the topic at hand

Know the expected resolution

• be receptive to your partner's needs. he or she may simply want you to listen rather than solve the problem
• ask what resolution your partner expects from the conversation
• minimize giving advice unless your partner asks for it

Make listening a priority

• let go of other agendas so you can be fully involved in the conversation
• postpone a conversation if children or other outside forces distract you
• address situations as they arise instead of postponing them and letting feelings simmer
