Communication and relationships go hand in hand. They cannot be taken away from each other. To communicate means to have a relationship with someone and to have a relationship with someone is to communicate with that person on a regular basis. But of course the relationship we are concerned here is of the romantic kind. And in that kind of relationship, communication is very much needed. In fact, you can say that communication is the lifeblood of a romantic relationship. This is the first thing that couples must understand and take to heart if they want their relationship to go a long way.

Good communication cannot be taken away from a relationship in the same way that oxygen cannot be taken away from a living creature. Without good communication, a relationship will surely die. Notice the qualifier good in front of the word communication. This simply means that not all kinds of communication will do. It must be something that is deep and nurturing. Two people can spend the whole day just nodding at each other and that can already be considered as communication. But that is not the type of communication that ahealthy relationship needs.

In the context of a good relationship, communication means understanding between the two parties involved. Most couples think that relationship does not involve any effort. In the contrary, conscious effort is needed for good communication to exist in a relationship. Couples must commit to regular communication. There will come times in the lives of couples where they will not feel like communicating with one another. In such cases, it is alright to go “separate ways” for a short time but couples should always come back to their“communicating ways” and should make it a habit to converse at least once a day.

You may have heard of men and women saying that their partners have become strangers already and they do not know how to relate to them anymore. Guess what? Those things do not happen overnight. It is a result of months or years of not communicating properly. Couples become strangers to one another because they have failed to commit to constant and regular
communication. Such a dreadful situation would have been averted if they only reserved a few minutes each day to deep conversion.

What about women who complain that it is hard to get their boyfriends to communicate with them? I think the real problem here most of the time is that women find it hard to make their men listen to them. It is quite common that a woman’s
idea of communication is she talking for hours and her boyfriend listening intently and giving positive and constructive comments. Girls should keep in mind that communication is a two way process. It is a give and take process. They should learn how to listen as much as they talk. When they have learned to do this, then maybe they wouldn’t have a hard time getting their partners to communicate with them. And then they will understand the connection between communication and relationships.
