Communication

March 26, 2011 12:13am CST
I was just thinking about relationships. How many people out there know how to communicate with their spouse/sig.other correctly?? I didn't know how. My husband and I used to have the worst communication when we first started dating. After a few years I was worried about the relationship so I got a book on how to communicate and it was a big help. Since then we have seen a therapist to learn more about proper communication. Our communication has greatly improved, we still have our moments but we always end up talking it out in the end. How many know about active listening? We learned that there are ways to say things to avoid fights in the first place. Its great, I think if more people could communicate right people would stand a better chance of staying married.

Words are bridges between people, someone would say. I would agree. In general, all problems are caused by the lack of communication. Do not have time to sit to talk, to tell our feelings, emotions. We leave everything on the run and more communication back. Husband leaves his wife for simply not communicating. His wife leaves her husband because he's too busy to May 1 and she can listen. Parents beat their children without the more interesting and their story. Children leave home because parents can not understand. Employees are unhappy because they think that nobody them listen, heads are cranky because they have time to communicate with anyone. I became single syllables, sometimes we understand only gestures and words leave off. It seems more important than your own phone. It seems more interesting than a football wife crying. It's good a soap opera than a disgruntled spouse. Slowly we sink into something undefined, without words. We want solutions. We want to know why we break up marriages. Why do not we listen to children and why parents do not understand us. Employees quit the group and everyone goes around us. WHY? We seek answers. Go to psychologists, trying to find us. We have a silent cry of despair. NOT COMMUNICATE! There wrong!

Good communication is good conversation. If your being a good wife you should talk to your husband the most lovely way as you can...because communication with love will strengthen you relationship... Communication really important in a relationship. Because if no communication between the husband and wife. That marriage is not last forever...

sometimes I feel difficult to communicate with my husband. I know how he is and he knows me well, so the bad signal of our communication can through easily. and when time is right we discus it again in a good way, no emotion. just pick the right time. in relationship communication is very very important. I would chose to be quiet better than I talk and make the situation even worse. it's not about win and lose or right and fault. goodluck

In my last relationship, we had zero communication problems. We would share things that other people would look weirdly at us for. Haha, it had its ups and downs, but it was good not to have secrets.. well atleast I didn't have any secrets.
