Marriage choice

My husband responds to problems by attacking me, not addressing the issue. This leads to hurtful and unproductive discussions.

What I wish I knew
"How to communicate effectively without becoming defensive."
If I could tell you one thing
"Choose a partner who communicates respectfully and listens to your concerns."
