Tools for a better Relationship: Communication (Part 1)




“To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others”.


Tony Robbins


A good relationship flourishes on interchange of feelings, desires, and trust. Communication is a tool for connecting and achieving a good marriage. Communication bridges the gap between expectation and perception. Communication in marriages ensures that problems are noted and checked and positive attributes are also encouraged. Please note, it is dangerous in relationship for a partner to hide his/her feelings about certain issues. But it is beneficial and healthy to express your concerns, feelings, desires, wants to your partner, this will enable him/her to adjust accordingly. Be sensitive and attentive to the wishes, desires, and concerns of your partner.



A lot of relationship have failed because of ineffective communication. During communication try to avoid argument, but let your partner understand and see from your point of view. Communication is a two way thing, which involves listening and contributing effectively. For an agreement to be establish during communication, the partner should consider each other’s perspective; weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the issue, and consider the benefits of any decision to the marriage. What is required in communication is thoughtfulness.



Thoughtfulness is giving attention to the concerns and feelings of your partner. Poor communication can lead to tension, frustration, mistrust, and conflict. A good example is this, if your partner did something that upset you, and he/she is not aware of it, without calling his/her attention to it, the mistake might repeat itself. So communication draws attention to a problem, while love ensures the problem is solved. But in drawing his/her attention to issues, please do it in a way that he/she understands your point of view.
