Whoops ... forgot to mention. Do continue to try to make eye contact, especially whenever she is speaking. Let her see you hang onto every syllable she speaks. Show her the actions that will make her say, "Wow, he really wants to hear what I have to say!" I've have made it a habit that when she starts talk to me ... if I'm reading, I put down whatever I'm looking at ... if I'm watching TV, I mute it and put down the remote ... if I'm turned away, I face her direction. All the body language that tells the other person, I'm here 100% for you and if you feel ite important for you to want to share, I want to hear it.
