It’s no secret that all strong and happy couples are always going to have a healthy communication game going on. No relationships are ever going to thrive and survive when they have poor lines of communication. It’s absolutely imperative that couples are always communicating with one another often and effectively. Without communication, couples are essentially putting ceilings on their on relationships.
Remember that communication is one of the most effective tools that couples can use to sustain and build on their intimacy with one another. And the strongest couples are the ones who understand that they must continually be building on their intimacy if they want their relationship to survive and flourish. Remember that it’s not enough that you “talk” to one another. Talking isn’t necessarily communicating. Yes, you can be making a conversation about the most random things.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are connecting with one another; that doesn’t mean that you’re building on your intimacy. It’s not enough that you talk to one another; it’s also about how you both talk to each other. And sometimes, as unfortunate as it might sound, a lot of us aren’t going to be so skilled in the talking department. Not all of us are going to be master conversationalists, and our relationships are at risk of suffering because of our weaknesses in this area.
But you don’t have to worry just yet if you feel like you’re not a skilled communicator. There’s no need to be pushing the panic button right away. There are workarounds to your situation. You just need to be willing enough to learn. You just have to be open enough to try new things. And this article is going to be a good place for you to start.
