Dear Sara and Tim, In order to maintain a successful and fulfilling marriage, we all know it takes work from both partners. As you set out on your journey together, it is important to remember that understanding the aspects of interpersonal communication is essential to learning how to effectively communicate with one another. Sara, when you have something you want to discuss with Tim, you want him to really listen and consider your point of view, right? Also, Tim, I know you feel the same way. I would like to offer you both some advice and give you some information that can help guide you in learning how to communicate with each other to the best of your abilities. To communicate effectively with one another, you must first …show more content…
My advice for you is to spend a little time each day to have conversations that focus on your thoughts and feelings on different subjects. This will allow you to learn more about each other on an equal level. According to Schoenberg (2011), “Quality communication is defined somewhat differently from study to study, but research consistently has shown a link between happy marriages and "self-disclosure," or sharing your private feelings, fears, doubts and perceptions with your partner” (para. 8). We have conversations all the time that are simply about every day, mundane things. Having more quality communication as a couple will allow your relationship to flourish and create a connection that goes beyond superficial. When you use strategies for managing your conflicts effectively, your relationship can grow stronger. There are going to be many things you disagree on, but if you handle them right they can be more of a learning experience than a heated argument. How you respond to situations is up to you. If something bad happens that leaves you both frustrated, you have a choice on how the situation will go. You may let your frustration cause the two of you to get into an argument, or you can work together to correct the situation. Thinking positively will influence your relationship greatly; just as negative thinking will. Self-care is also a strategy
My advice to you for a successful relationship is to be open and honest with each other about how you feel. It starts by identifying barriers to effective interpersonal communication. In fact, being open and honest with your significant other is very important in not creating problems later on the relationship. When you are honest you build trust. According to Pope (2007) the article states “When you’re suppressing communication and feelings during conflict with your husband, it’s doing something very negative to your physiology, and in the long term it will affect

Listen is another component of how marriage and collaboration go together. Everyone in the marriage and team needs to active listen to each other. This builds trust and shows your partner that you care and are interested in what they have to say. Some great strategies for active listening are to use reflection statements for instance; “paraphrase what the speaker said and responding to underlying feelings” (Tindall, 2000).
* Body Paragraph #3 - Differentiate appropriate levels of self-disclosure and emotional intelligence in various relationships.
It is definitely not easy for us to maintain a successful marriage being an ocean apart. Our relationship, as any other, has its strengths and its weaknesses. What I find the most important is the constant feeling of strong commitment, warmth and mutual emotional dependability. These feelings compensate for the lack of one extremely important ingredient: good communication. Intimacy requires that partners are able to talk about anything and to feel understood by the loved one. It became apparent during our marriage that neither of us have solid communication skills.
Though interpersonal communication can be the element to effective communications linking you and your loved one, it can also influence how you and your loved one interrelate with one another by not being a good listener and amplifier. Hello my name is and I will be giving you with a bit of guidance in turn to keep and preserve a well-built strong bond.
Communication is an important part of any relationship. Communication is a form of expressing yourself through words and or body language. A lack of communication in any relationship can cause damage. For example, 50 percent of marriages end in divorce (Tannen 281). In “Sex, Lies and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen, Tannen mentions most wives want their husbands to be conversational. Women feel as though communication should be intimate and a part of everyday life. Communication is extremely important to women while not as important to men.
That is why you are a couple, you must learn how to work together, and help each other. Having the support and comprehension of your love one, will make each other, and your relation ship stronger. In marriage is important to feel the support of your partner. Marriage is about two not one. In his essay “Love and marriage” Robert Bellah wrote “But spending a lifetime together also means that one can count on one’s partner. ‘I guess the big thing is that it’s a permanent relationship between two people where they support each other all they way through life, working as a team.’” (Bellah, 168)
Communication is the backbone of all marriages. You have to be able to communicate with each other about all issues and problems. No one can help solve your issues within your home but the two parties involved. Any and all problems need to be addressed to help being solved before they lead to things like infidelity or other issues.
Marriage in my opinion is the most prominent relationship one can have as it requires commitment and skillful handling. On a more intimate level, the communication between my husband and I has definitely improved. Without being too obvious, I began to apply some of the key points we covered in the power-point presentation about communication and I noticed that we are both giving each other our undivided attention when discussing an issue. In addition to communication, other essentials for a healthy marriage are love, trust, loyalty and
When it comes to relationship tips for men, advice always seems to start with communication. The key to any successful relationship is open and honest communication, so it is worthy of your attention. A good tip to keep in mind is that nothing is too petty or insignificant to talk about with someone who cares about you. Men often filter thoughts in their minds before deciding what they should say. When you are in a close, intimate setting, try putting everything that pops into your head into words. Maybe a little comment at work last week is still bothering you. Maybe you’ve been missing your family lately. You might think that your significant other won’t care or find these things interesting, but the truth is they probably do. Learning the
First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you both on your recent engagement. The two of you are taking a huge step, and I wish you all of the happiness in the world in the future. While I am no expert in matters of the heart, I am grateful that you looked to me for guidance based on what I have learned thus far in my Interpersonal Communications course. A successful marriage is based, primarily, on having effective communication skills. Communication is the foundation that any long lasting relationship is built on. If you take the time to learn about interpersonal interactions, developing and maintaining your self-concept, self-image, and self-esteem, learning what appropriate levels of self-disclosure and
Communication is one of the most important aspects of making a relationship work. I want a husband who I can just talk to. I want to be able to talk about my emotions, spiritual aspects, and just about anything about my life. My number one priority however would have to be finding someone who I can be myself with. I want someone who’ll understand me and my culture or at least someone who’s open-minded. It also helps if we have the same beliefs especially in deciding what we would teach our children or how we would raise them. Having the same beliefs would decrease the amount of arguing or compromising we have to go through. He should also have the same expectations in the relationship and the willingness to be in it. For example, when I marry someone, divorce is not an option unless the circumstances are really bad and almost unbearable. He must understand that, and he must understand my beliefs. In
In today’s busy lives, no one has the time to understand each other after marriage.
