Long ago and another lifetime I went to Marriage Encounter. It's Catholic based so it probably won't be your cup of tea. But what I got out of it I enjoyed quite a bit. Their technique is to keep a journal of letters to one another. You choose a topic each day and for 10 minutes you write to the other person using your feelings. Then you read your letters and talk about them. There's a bit more to it, but that's a great communication technique. The cold reality of seeing it in black and white and expressing yourself in this way can open up wonderful avenues of communication. And since you are both on the same topic...you get the idea.
