#27 ~ From Verbal Processor to Internal Thinker: A Guide to Communication in Marriage

Hello, Beautiful Souls! Welcome back to The Intuitive Marriage Podcast! I'm your host Amanda Pott, and today, we’re diving into a powerful topic that can transform your relationship: how we process information and communicate in marriage. Whether you’re a verbal processor, an internal thinker, or somewhere in between, understanding these communication styles can help you connect more deeply with your spouse.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
1.What Verbal Processing Means
Discover what it means to be a verbal processor and how talking things out can help some people work through their thoughts, feelings, and even problem-solving. Amanda shares insights into how verbal processing looks in real-life situations, especially in a marriage.
2.Exploring Different Communication Styles
Not everyone processes thoughts by talking—there are various ways people work through emotions and ideas! Amanda explores four other styles:
•Internal Processors: Quiet thinkers who need time and space.
•Written Processors: Writers who find clarity through journaling or written reflections.
•Visual Processors: People who organize their thoughts through diagrams, lists, or visual aids.
•Kinesthetic Processors: Those who find clarity through movement, like walking or physical activity.
3.How Communication Styles Impact Marriage
Learn how understanding each other’s processing styles can help you avoid misunderstandings and create a more empathetic connection. Amanda shares her own experiences with verbal processing in marriage and gives tips for couples on navigating differences in style.
4.Practical Tips for Building Stronger Communication
•Weekly Check-Ins: Setting aside time to share thoughts based on each person’s style.
•Mindful Timing: Checking in to see if it’s a good time for deeper discussions, especially for verbal processors.
•Using Visual and Written Aids: Incorporating tools that help each partner feel understood and engaged.

Marriage Mentoring Tip
If you and your spouse have different processing styles, remember: it’s all about balance and respect. Making space for both verbal processing and quiet reflection can help create a harmonious environment for both of you.

“Every conversation is a chance to connect more deeply.”
