how important is communication in a relationship?

Yes,communication is very much essential in a couples life.Even though they may be miles apart,recent technology enables them to be in constant touch with each other.If they are communicating in spite of all this facilities,there comes the problem and misunderstandings.Basically it all comes down to trust and love.But how much ever the trust and love they had had,this won't last for a long time if there is no communication.

hi:) I think communication is the bridge in any happy relationship,it bind the relationship tighter and keeps the relationship alive. you need a good communication so that so could understand him/her better, and Communication doesn’t mean you just talk to the other or point out mistakes; it’s about helping one another to understand the different perspectives so as to avoid unnecessary arguments and misunderstandings.it's also means one must be willing to listen to what his/her partner want to say.

You just have to trust your partner,"when you are miles apart" may be OK but not all things, you have to be near to each other by mailing, communication as that assure the love. we have an Egyptian say that " what faraway from eyes are faraway from heart". So, any one should be near to each partner even by a little communication.

Communication is very important in a relationship. Because it maintain the flame of love and the affection of each one lover... If the communication stop. That the time lovers cease to know what on their heart and they missed each other...

Communication is everything, it's amazing how people can mistanderstand what we really mean or said almost in a daily basis. Be that relationship in work, in love or friendship it's really important that we talk.

A relationship is a connection and exchange between people. Communication plays a large role in the exchange between people..It exchange information in the form of ideas, wants, desires, feelings, and much more. Incomplete or stopped communication can create a block in the relationship.A blocked in a relationship exists or will grow when communication is just flat out avoided. I think giving your trust to yoyr partner is also a part of communication because its part of understanding..

Communication is really important especially if your miles away. .atleast a text a day or a call that makes him/her feel that you're still there. .also you have to trust your partner . .

My partner and I are miles aparts. We communicate about once a week by skype and that is fine for both of us. Sometimes we text in between or he just calls me to hear my voice. I am not afraid of loosing him, perhaps he is a bit of loosing me? It's important to communicate but because we live different lives it is also not always important to tell each other everything. Since we both are not always able to understand what the other is talking about or meaning. So we don't waste much time on that anymore. Also I noticed that too much communication can break a lot too or make things worser as they were at the start. I learned to wait, not always respond at once since problems will solve themselves most of the time. I think that if you live in fear each day your partner might cheat on you, if you feel you can't trust your partner you should ask yourself this. Do those feelings have to do with your partner or with you? Are you jealous, afraid to be alone? But no matter what the reason is, if you have to live with this each day, if it's eating you and no chat will be free from it (your lack of trust) it's better to end the relationship.

Communication for me is really important in relationships, whether you both live next door or separated by distance. Constant communication is an assurance that your relationship still works no matter how far you are with your partner. Although in some cases being far from your partner needs trust and understanding as you have also said above, since we know that he might be working real hard for your family or for the future family in case you both aren't married yet.
