It’s been known that communication is the backbone of any successful relationship. Relationships are maintained through communicating your favorable thoughts toward your spouse, listening to them speak, and paying attention to what they are saying. Yes, I agree constant communication is crucial in a relationship, but this write-up is about a part of relationships that is crucial yet rarely discussed by people.
QUALITY COMMUNICATION is what I’m referring to. This is an important part of all relationships but people infrequent
ly talk about it. It’s about understanding the emotion and intentions behind the information and lack of it can lead to fights, breakups, separations, and anguish. For instance, consider this conversation:
MAN: My love, I have a lot of things to do for my dad in the village. He needs me urgently and he says I should visit him tomorrow in the village. So I’ll be traveling tomorrow.
WOMAN: Do your thing. You’re leaving me and you’re just telling me now. See your life? This shows how you don’t care about me. No problem. Bye. ”
The woman’s response above demonstrates her lack of quality communication skills, which will cause the conversation to become tense and argumentative. The woman’s best comment ought to have been:
“That’s my baby! It’s admirable of you to show your parent’s such respect and devotion. You’re free to visit your dad and please remember that I always adore you. Take good care of yourself for me.
What I’ve noticed is that it’s not a lack of communication that mostly destroys relationships but a lack of Quality Communication. And also, it’s not how much you talk to each other or exchange information, it’s how well you talk to each other that matters.
Quality Communication will help you avoid misunderstandings and easily understand the meaning of what’s being communicated. It’ll make your spouse feel heard and comprehended, and this will make your relationship last longer. Quality communication matters in relationships. Learn to have Quality communication with your partner/friends.
