Quiet Conversations Journal Kits have really helped my husband and I to re-connect.  Often in our conversations, words were misinterpreted because daily stress didn’t allow us to hear each other.  Our QC Journal is the tool that helps us to communicate what needs to be said in a beneficial way. Before Quiet Conversations I was relentless in trying to get my husband to “understand” me.  Now there is more understanding, with a lot less force.

My fiance and I have found our journal to be so helpful in our relationship. I'm the one who has a harder time with communication, I  react quickly to the moment and don’t express my true feelings. I find that just knowing I'm going to write something in our journal calms me down and that I will be able to accurately express my feelings to him.  Thank you for putting a new spin on journaling that has greatly improved my relationship!!!

What used to be difficult to talk about, now flows freely on paper and has brought us to a whole new level of communication that we never enjoyed during our first 30 years of marriage.  Only we know what our wink means!

I thought it was foolish, I didn’t want to do it- but I did and I’m really glad.  I learned that it really is easier for me to write it than to say it.  I’m glad she talked me into it!

My first thought was “Oh great- she wants to talk more about feelings!”  But it’s turned out that I can actually communicate with her in a more meaningful way- without being interrupted.  I’ve come to really enjoy talking about MY feelings a little more, and about HERS a little less!  Does that sound insensitive?

I really didn’t want to write in a journal with my mother, but I sort of had to.  I will admit though, that I can write things to her that I would never SAY.  Sometimes I don’t write back, but I always read what my mom has written- and it’s nice that when I do write to her that she can’t interrupt or lecture me.

I love that I can write to my mom in our QC Journal and say what I want to say, however I want to say it... and not get into trouble or feel guilty.  Sometimes she tells me things about when she was growing up that I never knew about her.  When she writes to me about things we’ve argued about, I understand much better what she’s trying to say- then I get my turn!
~Annie, 12

Journaling has helped my relationship because its a great way to communicate without talking. I feel like most people, myself included just don’t know how to communicate properly. In writing my feeling I have time to think about what’s going on and not react to words being said. I enjoy waiting to see what my girlfriend is going to write back too;  it's like pen-palling inside your home.

I have a young son who is coming into his teens.  Our Quiet Conversations Journal Kit helps me to tell him how proud I am of him but also when I could have made a different choice in a situation.  Our QC Journal enables him to bring up topics that may be difficult to talk to me about face-to-face.  It has not replaced our mother/son talks, but supplemented them with extra opportunities to stay connected.
