COMMUNICATION IN MARRIAGE

Communication in Marriage: The increasing rate of divorce proves that keeping a marriage intact is hard.

There are many reasons why couples who were once inseparable decided to part ways but whatever those reasons are, one thing is for sure, those reasons didn't come up just overnight. Many marital conflicts were ignored until they get so big that couples cannot handle them anymore until they explode and eventually decided to part ways.

When two people are in a long-term relationship like marriage, communication is one of the most important factors affecting the relationship.

Communication gap is one thing that can happen to couples as the years pass by. The lack of communication or poor communication between couples can be very destructive to marriage and can lead to multiple marital issues. Understanding the importance of communication in marriage can be a great motivation for couples to improve communication in their relationship.

Communication prevents misunderstandings, confusions and wrong assumptions. When couples are not talking to each other regularly, they may end up predicting what their spouse is thinking leading to wrong assumptions and misunderstandings. Couples who are married for many years often assume that their spouses just know what's in their minds because they've been together for many years which is very wrong. Assuming that your partner can read your mind creates confusion. It is important to articulate your thoughts to minimize misunderstandings. If couples can only learn the art of effective communication, misunderstandings can be prevented.
