Communication

Communication is the foundation of any relationship. It is the trust between partners. So communication and trust are the two key ingredients for a healthy relationship. Without both these components your relationship is likely to fail. Communication in a relationship highlight’s an important message that may contribute to an everlasting relationship.

Communication Types

There are two essential communication types in a relationship, which is verbal and nonverbal communication. Each one is just as essential as the other. The two must work together to convey the information. When two people are in a relationship and they don’t use verbal communication to express what they are thinking or feeling, their actions (non verbal) can do it instead. Both communication types work together to highlight a message.

Why Communication is Essential in a Relationship

Firstly, if partners in a relationship do not communicate she/he is not sharing a part of his/her feelings with the other. They hold onto their feelings and thoughts for many different reasons. Consequently, the reasons people in relationships fail to communicate are fear of rejection and concern they will do or say something to upset their partner. However, not telling your partner what you feel keeps the relationship from changing and growing. Relationship growth is important if you want a healthy bond.

Avoiding Misunderstandings

Another reason why communication is important is that misunderstandings often occur between people. Each partner may perceive situations differently, which can create anger and hurt feelings of the other. Without communication, couples may become upset with one another without even knowing why or how it started. Positive communication can lead to clear expectations and a greater understanding of one another’s feelings.

Setting Expectations

When a couple honestly states what their expectations are, it’s difficult for them to disregard those expectations since they have been discussed. If a couple made it clear of their expectations from the start the couple will likely have respect for each other. When expectations are set and agreed upon, there’s no question as to what’s acceptable and how the other person feels as a result.

Know Your Partner

It’s important to know your partner. This will help to improve your relationship communications as a couple. However, lack of communication affects a lot of relationships at times. A conflict has a surface cause that points to other, deeper issues, that should be addressed. A relationship can’t get profoundly deep if communication isn’t open and frequent.
