Communication problems in relationships is the beginning of the end... |
If you have problems with communication within your relationships, then guess what?...
Your relationship's days are numbered, and that's no exaggeration. Communication in relationships is VITAL to any relationship...
But...
Not just any type of communication, I mean GOOD communication, after all, even an argument is classed as communication...
So let me rephrase that statement...
GOOD communication in relationships is VITAL!
If
you don't communicate with your partner (anyone for that matter), then
you WILL grow apart, period. Do you communicate with a total stranger?
Probably not unless you have to. So that begs the question, why would
you give your loved one's the same treatment as you would to a total
stranger?And remember this...
A stranger will turn their back on you and not give you a second thought, probably for the rest of their life. Why would you expect it to be any other way?...
Is that what you want for your relationship? I hope you're screaming NO at your computer screen!
As I said earlier, I'm not merely talking about any kind of communication, I'm talking about GOOD communication. You've heard people refer to their partner as, 'my other half' right? When you have an extraordinary relationship with your partner, you literally are their other half, and like wise for them to.
So let me ask you this...
In your body, doesn't both halves know what the other half is doing? or is thinking about doing? or is feeling? or what happened earlier today? Well obviously, the two halves of your body are physically connected, your partner is not! And the way to 'connect' him or her...
Is through GOOD communication!

Weigh up your options
Sometimes (all the time for some), people put less important things ahead of really, really important things. This happens in all areas of a person's life, but the most important area that this should never happen, is within a relationship.
I've already told you why communication problems in relationships will
result in you and your partner drifting apart. Obviously, there are 101
different reasons why communication in relationships go bad. No
matter what the reason might be, at some point you need to weigh up
your options...What do I mean?...
Well, there's always a reason why communication problems in relationships occur. So my advice to you is simple, ALWAYS ask yourself "what's more important?". If the reason(s) preventing you from having GOOD communication are less important, then it's a no brainer as to what you should do!
You see, my point is, there is nothing more important than communication in relationships, NOTHING! Say for example, you don't want to be in the relationship anymore, well you still have to communicate with the other person and let them know, right?
Put the time in and communicate, the rewards are great - TRUST ME!

Communicate, DON'T anticipate
Don't agree with what I'm saying?...
If you don't that's cool, but let me explain a consequence of not communicating...
When you don't communicate in relationships, you leave the other person to form their own conclusion about you or something you've said or done. This is not good, because generally people are rubbish at it, but that's not all...
Most people break one of my fundamental relationship rules, and that is, jumping to conclusions and ACTING UPON IT. I see this all the time, and the amount of relationship break ups that could have been prevented by simply avoiding this, is unreal. What happens is this...
Person A jumps to a conclusion about something person B said or done, Person B has done nothing wrong, it just 'looks' like he/she has. Person A has got 'the wrong end of the stick' and is very angry with Person B, and so acts upon his/her conclusion by being aggressive to Person B, then...
Person B feels hard done by, and lashes out in retaliation to Person A. Person A can't believe the cheek of Person B reacting that way, because Person A believes Person B is in the wrong. And it goes on, and on, and on, and before you know it, their relationship is ruined because Person A jumped to a conclusion about Person B and acted upon it...
This all could have been avoided with simple communication. So who's at fault?...
Both of them, because they didn't communicate...
REMEMBER, things aren't always as they seem!

How to eradicate communication problems in relationships
Communication problems in relationships can be eradicated easily. How? do I hear you ask? The answer is REAL simple...
Communication problems in relationships can be eradicated with GOOD communication, it's as simple as that! If it's a problem in your relationship, then talk about it. If your partner isn't very receptive to that conversation, then perhaps get them to read this article...
GOOD communication is a two way street, and all GREAT relationships are built on it, without it, you have no relationship. Here's a tip for you...
When you do communicate, make sure it's not a rant 'n rave, because ironically, the louder you talk, the less people can hear what you're saying. Instead, people will only hear the 'noise' you are making and not your message.
Isn't it nice to talk to someone about YOU, and even nicer when they listen to you as if you were the only person in the world? Well that's how you should make your partner feel when you communicate with them, and of course, they should make you feel the same to.
