Is it important to communicate?
Most people don’t realize it, but communication from one person to another is important in any relationship. From a family relationship, like your mom, or friendship, and most importantly, in a romantic relationship.
Some people think it’s important to spend as much time together as you can, or they think it’s constantly calling and texting, but really, there’s so much more that goes into relationships: communication, space, quality time, listening to each other’s needs, understanding, having patience, being kind and caring to one another. All of these play a role in my opinion on having a healthy relationship. Without communication, neither of you know what’s going on in each other’s lives. You don’t know how they are feeling about a situation or your relationship.
There’s many things that go into communication; for example, some questions that you should ask are, “How are you feeling about this situation?”, “Are you happy with this relationship?” or, “What are things I could do to help?” All of these are a good start to communication.
There’s another part that goes into communication: physicality. You need to show the other person not only with words, but with body language, that you are listening to what they have to say. You could do this by having a calm body, staying still and not fidgeting while also giving the other person eye contact.
But…without space you will get sick and tired of each other. You will also slowly lose the connection you have with the person. This happens because there’s no mystery or anything they don’t know, which could make you lose interest in each other. Spending all your time together doesn’t strengthen your relationship. In my opinion, it weakens it and makes the individuals turn against each other. personally it’s not spending all of your time together that’s important. In my own experience it actually makes you guys have less communication, it makes the connection slowly fade. In my situation it was because we weren’t working together as a team and we also were not actively listening to each other which wasn’t effective communication.
What’s important in a relationship is that you are comfortable with being yourself and communicating how you feel. So, when you use communication and be yourself, the connection you have with an individual stays and grows. Even if you are going through a rough patch in your life, communication is the most important thing so that your partner or the people surrounding you can help. With all of this being said this is why I believe that communication is in fact important.
