Reasons why Communication is Important in any Relationship.

Communication is a very vital process in our relationships, be it with our significant other or someone else in our lives. Sometimes, communication is taken for granted, effective communication is however, possible. While, some find it difficult, to others it comes more naturally. It is extremely important to demonstrate effective communication for various reasons.

In my observation some relationships appear to be really great while some really struggle to see the light of day. While eager to know why, one of the major underlying factors is communication. Communication is the process of sending a message to another person through a channel, and often requires feedback. The communication is not normally tied down to talking but also involves a lot of body language, that needs to be understood by both parties. Communication is not something that can be done by one person and therefore, for it be healthy and effective there has to be involvement and commitment from both parties.

Effective Communication Brings transparency

When people communicate with each other often and when they have created the space to feel free to express their minds with each other, It is vey easy for the relationship to progress well and handling of matters becomes less of a worry. However, without transparency it is easy for both parties to feel a sense of emotional dissatisfaction and even doubt. This can cause Insecurities to crop up and later the couple begins withdrawing from each other and keeping things to themselves.

To show support to your partner

Effective and healthy relationship is crucial for any relationship to flourish and make it easier to navigate the storms whenever they arise. Its through communication that you truly understand your partners interests, desires, ambitions, weaknesses and that can be helpful in supporting them. In addition, assertive type of communication is highly encouraged among people who are dating and who would like to have a future together. This type if communication calls for openness on both parties. This type of communication provides room for trust, confidence respect security and true love. When talking openly, both of you create an environment where you can share your feelings without fear.

Ruling out Judgements

It is paramount that a partner feels safe and assured in any relationship. This will depend on both parties for this to happen. A partner can feel free to communicate their mind, when they feel they are not misjudged. When a person doesn't feel understood when sharing their feelings, they may result in hiding things or seeking help from someone else each time they have an issue. Incase, there are issues of concern is it good to approach the matter in a polite way, discuss it with them , let them give you their reasoning and in return, you could tell them what you think, without sounding judgmental.

Rules out Assumptions and misunderstandings

Lack of communication or lack of effective communication brings about a lot of issues that are related to mistrust and assumptions which result to misunderstandings in between the two people involved. That said, it is important to communicate often and make a point of being straight forward. Avoid at all cost hiding things from your partner or not involving them in the decision making process. This can make one feel unvalued and insignificant in a relationship and in the long term damage the relationship.

Solving issues amicably

Effective communication enables couple's to resolve their issues in a civilized manner. Conflict in any relationship is unavoidable since the relationship is composed of different people. Effective communication allows both of you to air your grievances, be hard and finally propose a way forward. Healthy communication also aids in solving the issues in a reasonable manner and avoid resulting to violence or unnecessary drama.
