1/8/25, 11:15 AM Family Development Foundation launches ‘Social Counselling Service’
FDF further reiterated that ‘marital silence’ could stem from several factors such as lack of mutual
understanding, anger or trust issues, stress and depression. It can increase tension and emotional
distance between spouses, detrimentally impacting the rest of the family, particularly children.

To tackle this pressing concern, FDF recommends identification of its root cause, facilitation of open

conversation between spouses, practising active listening and creation of shared routines to improve
connection and communication. FDF also recommends the usage of positive and constructive language
to express emotions as well as seeking professional help when necessary.
