Communication is one of the most essential ingredients in any relationship. So what is it? It is the ability to exchange ideas and or information by talk, gestures, or writing. It is an active ingredient found in any meaningful relationship.
We need to be mindful of a number of things that are vital to sustaining relationship. Some of these are controlling our use of angry or unkind words, and ensuring our words are words of healing. Or the control of our use of words of endearment that others may perceive as offensive.
Listening forms an integral part as this also is another form of communication. As we do this we do so with our heart, listening with understanding to the one who is speaking. Expressing our feelings and allowing ourselves to exercise compassion for each other. We all have different communication styles however this should not be seen as a negative thing as we become more mature we grow and develop our communication skills.
