Communication is the key, especially to keep the intimacy within the family. Talking "to" my spouse and children, not at them, means a lot. I listen more to what they have to say and talk less. I don't interrupt them when speaking, but hear the whole sum of the matter to get a clear understanding and then respond or just say nothing until the time is right.
I'm not as judgmental as I used to be. My family confides in me more now that I've changed to being more of a listening ear. When communication grows, love is enhanced.
