6 Ways to Optimize Communication in Relationships
Change is scary but we all need to compromise.
We often speak and listen to others in a certain way. When we are in relationships, we have to evolve our communication skills so that we are able to flow well with our partners.
No one is expecting you to change completely or lose your full identity for the whims of another person. What is expected is that you will sometimes compromise with your partner, especially if you’re in it for the long haul.
It can be scary and overwhelming on deciding how to improve your communication. Maybe you express very little, and your partner expresses a lot. Maybe your partner wishes for you to talk more and maybe you wish that they would listen more.
Either way, communication is a big part of our relationships. Therefore, we have to know what we’re doing, before we take those additional leaps, such as having a baby, buying a new house, and so much more.
Think of it this way: your relationship is an investment and you have to treat it like one. You can’t take it for granted, so you have to do what you need to make things work, while your partner does what they need to also be on a similar page.
