The need for communication as a couple

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR THIS SITE COMM In my own words, communication is just the skills to talk things through and keep your relationship running smoothly. The need for communication as a couple can not be over emphasized in a relationship. I will not be discussing 4 ways with which you can communicate better and effectively too.

Body language

I remember this very well. When growing up as a child my mum will usually hold her ears or wink her eyes to either mean a warning or “You no dey hear word”
People relate to one another in different ways, and not always directly. Often, you can tell what someone is trying to say through body language. So, if you’re scoring on someone whose arms and legs remain firmly crossed, it might be a good time to make your excuses and get your coat. Often, however, it’s down to instinct. “I notice that if men look at you in the eyes, they seem to be the ones that like you,” says Amaka. “Simple touching is another sign that they like you. For example, patting you on the leg, rubbing your back or your arm, wrestling around, tickling you.”

Speak up!
Other times, it’s what is not said that speaks volumes. In this situation, unless you’re a mind reader, a prophet or prophetess, you may miss out on critical information – and a situation goes from bad to worse. If you think there is an issue with something which would affect the relationship it would rather be nice if either of you bring it up rather than bottling up issues which will surely explode one day and the consequences could be fatal.

Dig deep
In a relationship, clear communication is vital to making things work. Unless you share your innermost thoughts and feelings, the bond between you can quickly fray. Without knowing what really makes you both tick, you risk misunderstanding creeping in, even resentment. You should never keep any issues to yourself. It is always better to bring everything out into the open, maybe even argue about it a little bit. As long as it gets solved, but issues don’t get solved unless you let the other person know that it’s a problem.

Be clear
On paper, talking openly might seem like common sense. In practice, it’s often not so easy to express what you really want to say. All kind of complications can kick in, from a fear of a bad response to choosing the wrong time to talk. Whatever the case, it’s vital that you overcome all obstacles to ensure you’re on the same wavelength. Always endeavor to be clear as much as you can to avoid saying that’s not what I meant. It cost you nothing to be as clear as you can be.PLEASE CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR THIS SITE.
