Communication

Communication is one of the biggest things that can happen within a relationship that can help determine how long the relationship will last. With so many different ways of communication, how do you know what the best way to communicate with your partner is?

Being in a relationship or marriage takes a lot of time and effort and being able to know that you’re able to talk to your partner with no issues is a really important part of communication. Being able to have that communication with your partner will allow your relationship to create a safe place for both of you to talk freely and work together. Being able to tell your partner everything including your fears and your hopes is something that will help your relationship continue to grow and strengthen. 

There are many different strategies that you can use when it comes to communication with your partner. When communicating when you're struggling and you want your partner to understand what is going on. You need to ensure that you’re in a neutral space and that your partner is actively listening to what you’re saying. Make sure not to overwhelm them with information so take breaks and allow them to summarize and ask questions that can help them better understand the topic that you’re talking about. 

You need to make sure that when that is being done for you that you give your partner the same courtesy when it comes to them communicating with you. Be respectful of each other and try not to talk over each other. You need to have open communication but have an understanding on when it’s okay to talk when it comes to a discussion. Being able to communicate and listen to your partner is important when it comes to maintaining a strong and healthy relationship. 

Communication can make or break the relationship you’re in.
