Communication.....
There are points in our relationships where you feel like there is a wall up between you and your loved one. Whether it be tension, selective listening or overlooking the situation because to you it's not a big deal.
Communication should be considered a living organism, I will explain why. For example, a fruit tree. When planted it starts out as a seed. Through the years it needs water and sunlight to grow and mature enough to bear fruit. Even at it's full maturity the tree will wilt and die if water or sunlight is taken away. I use this example because communication would be the seed and water and sunlight would be considered nurturing communication. Even if communication has reached excellence it can be stripped away in seconds if not honored.
My point of view is communication should be respected. Growing up you were taught in school that COMMUNICATION SKILLS IS THE KEY TO ANY SUCCESS. This phrase is very true but it is easier said than done. Being truthful and holding ZERO secrets releases stress and tension on a relationship. Unknowingly, you will find that respecting and honoring communication will strengthen your trust in one another. Knock down those walls and build your foundation based on truth and trust. Then and only then will your fruit tree blossom and bear the most succulent fruit.
Communication IS very important, I think one of the most important elements in any relationship, whether it be romantic or platonic.
I find that, what I mean when I say something, is not necessarily what the person I am speaking to "hears" I think its important to make sure that you find yourself on the same page with someone and come to a CLEAR understanding
Without communication you can't understand where someone else is coming from, nor can they understand where you are coming from....
Im liken this post :) I been married 5 yrs and im still trying to learn how to let some walls down and not hold things back... I know iv come along way from the beginning but its been so tough for me.... Im Lucky to have a Man that understands my slowness...lol
SO true! But I feel like me and Kel over communicate ALOT! we never have anything to talk about when we're alone... we need to find new interests or hobbies, or friends or anything! LOL... luv ur new bloggs! and super excited for more!
Even with a communication degree, this is my biggest problem. I like to think I can do it all by myself and dont help me till I ask.
