Once communication dies in your relationship, you've snuffed life out of that love.
Learning communication is one great trait everyone needs to have (New Haven) Communication is the heartbeat of relationship.
Once
it slows down or fades, the relationship gets buried under a rubble of
unexpressed feelings, resentment, feelings of under-appreciation,
rejection and emotional distance.
Partners
could literally see each other or maybe live under the same roof.
Without great communication that touches on every sphere of their lives
and reaches deep into their souls, they might as well be living a
millions apart.
This goes to show just how important communication is in relationships. But just exactly how does communication work?

1. Needs to be learnt
People are different and the way to communicate with each individual is often different too.
You need to understand what works for your partner by being sensitive and also asking questions.
Some people are moved by written words, and some love to look into your eyes as you speak with them.
Gentle
words worked for your ex doesn’t mean it’ll work for this new babe. She
might respond to a voice that’s a bit firmer when you’re passing across
a serious message.
The point is; learn how to communicate with your partner speciallyWith time and practice, communication grows between partners. (HuffPost)2. Starts slow
Communication is tightly linked with trust; and this explains why it starts slow.
As
communication builds one day at a time, so does trust. And when trust
increases, so does communication because you and your partner become
unafraid to share anything and everything with each other.
3. Has to be total
Communicate
everything - your emotions, feelings, fears, anger, unhappiness,
compliments, concerns, dreams, past, and present and everything else.
Ask questions when you need answers and be a good listener when the answers come.
And of course, no secrets, people.
4. It’s not always fun
Sometimes you have to call out your partner’s bullshit. You are supposed to help your partner become a better person.
And
in order to achieve this, there will be times to call their attention
to something they are not doing right. It won’t be as fun as the nights
when you’re cuddled up saying sweet nothings… but it is needed.
The truth is quite hard to swallow sometimes but you just have to communicate it.
And you also should be careful not to let communication die in your relationship. (Madamenoire) |
5. It dies
Think
of it as a plant that needs water to survive. You can’t neglect to
communicate properly with your partner - and there’s an emphasis on
properly here.
You can’t afford to fall short in communication because once it dies, it won’t be long before your relationship follows.
