COMMUNICATION IN A RELATIONSHIPEffective marital "communication tools"! Talking/conversations within relationships The ability to communicate well with your spouse, partner or lover plays a very imoportant role in laying the foundation for a good, healthy and lasting relationship. However, most relationships and marriages suffer from lack of proper conversation skills and breakdowns in the talk department, which can result in misunderstandings, problems and even divorce. Most experts recommend couples do the following to improve their "communication skills": * Before you say something, think about how your partner will interprete your words. How is s/he likely to interprete what you are to say? * Think about the message you want to send and evaluate what you plan to say against your intentions. Do not be ambiguous, be clear.
Watch both your verbal and non verbal communicationVerbal and non-verbal communication or body-language in a relationship:Always remember that actions speak louder than words. It is said that, only about 7% of all communication is verbal. Your partner can hear what you are trying not to say and s/he can hear that much clearer than what you are voicing out. Your tone of voice, depth, frequency and facial expressions say it all – well, they say most of it. When arguing, try not to bring out the past, especially if it has been dealt with previously. Do not talk badly about each other’s families. Remember not to try and be right or point fingers at your partner. Keep to the topic and listen to each other’s needs and concerns. Listening is an important part of communicating!
