Ours have definitely gotten better over time. There are still certain issues that need more communication, like anything to do with his ex, which he sometimes forgets that I should also have a say in certain things, like schedules for the boys or how much "extra" money we can spend on them.

For the most part, we communicate pretty well though about finances and child rearing and stuff like that.

Although, there is ALWAYS room to improve.

Ours needs work

With DH, excellent. But it took a long time to get to this point.

It's really good!

It's pretty good, actually, although I've had to work with him to make it even better. He has a tendency to hold things in because he hates complaining and he's very sensitive to my feelings, so if something is bugging him, he won't mention it so as not to insult me. It sounds nice, in theory, but if he doesn't tell me what's wrong, I can't change or fix it!

So now he's gotten better at talking things out immediately and I feel like we've got good communication on our side.

We could be better - but I think I do a good job of realizing when I might not acting completely reasonable but still feel frustrated or angry.
I try to never say "I'm fine" or answer "nothing's wrong" when something is bothering me. I usually say something and sometimes I have to preface it with I know this might be unreasonable, but it's how I feel.

Needs work. We have completely different methods of communication and working through problems. The biggest issue is I tend to over communicate and he gets tired of hearing me OR he doesn't want to talk at all. Boo!!
