Relationship Communication By Robert Leahy: Article Analysis

Your partner may have different ideas. Demonstrate a range of verbal and non-verbal communication techniques for constructive and respectful discussion as you exchange ideas.

In interpersonal relationships, many factors implement relationship success. Some factors that influence relational success is types of attraction, such as task, physical or social attraction. Other factors are similarity and proximity between the two partners.

When one partner stops communicating, it can be detrimental to the relationship. If that partner has not already left the relationship at this point, learning what their love language is and using it, may impel them to communicate again and save the relationship, or as the author says, it may refill your partner’s “love tank.” There is a questionnaire that you can fill out in the back of the book, as well as on the author’s website, www.5lovelanguages.com, where you can learn what your love language is. The first one mentioned in the book is “words of affirmation.” These are all the encouraging and kind words, the compliments, and the willingness to forgive or be humble. An example would be a letter that expresses your love, or something as simple as “Wow honey! You look extraordinary tonight!”

There is nothing that keeps a relationship strong and going healthy, better than understanding and once established communication is created many become more familiar with communication and the different ways we can communicate..

Without it, the relationship has a very low chance of survival. A site called “Loveisrespect” writes about many ways that you can communicate with your other half. First, make sure that it is the right time. Do not try to engage in a serious conversation during a time of stress. Try and talk to them when you are both in the same room, not doing anything important.

These steps I use to overcome these obstacles are 10 rules of good communication: 1. I need to Stop talking!! Need to build myself to HEAR the other person. 2.

Reflect the feelings the other person position. 6. Put myself in other person’s position. 7. Avoid expressing anger or arguing. 8. Allow plenty of time without hurrying. 9. Avoid ALL distraction. 10. STOP, TALK + LISTEN TO LEARN and UNDERSTAND!

Why is it important that you are able to communicate effectively with people in your job role?

It is part of the human condition to attribute intentions to others' conduct. Relationship Awareness Theory is a self-learning model for effectively and precisely understanding and construing the motive process behind the behavior.

Jack and Jill have been dating for six months. Jack was head over heels, he believed that Jill was the answer to all his dreams and wishes. Jill was everything he envisioned his life partner to be. To him she was his soulmate, the one that completed him, the one that made him feel special. Jill was also very pleasing to the eye, she had the perfect physique and appeared flawless. Jack was very proud to call her his girlfriend and considered himself the luckiest man alive. Jill on the other hand did not feel the same about Jack. To her Jack was the perfect naive candidate to support her lavish lifestyle and someone she could manipulate quite easily. Jack spent every waking moment of his life thinking of ways he could express his love for Jill.

When we split up with partners to discuss and put them into action, I found myself almost automatically reflective listening and then stating my point again, going through the four steps repeatable steps of Bolton’s assertion process until my partner finally agreed too ‘stop yelling at me in the morning’. Often the hardest part for me was the silence, because while I am an excellent listener, I struggle with conversational silence, as it just feels awkward for me. (I’m working on it.)

When having intimate conversations with my friends I tend to use a lot of “slang” which is improper English. I do not speak very proper or in a manner I would address my parents. With my friends I tend to curse, be loud, and speak bluntly. But when I have intimate conversations with my parents I tend to use proper English. I am quiet, I don’t curse and I think before I speak. As you can see depending on my environment there are people who bring out different sides of me. If I were to ever get my environments confused and start talking to my parents like how I talk to my friends I will be disciplined. My parents are very strict and they do not tolerate disrespectful behavior as they would say “I am not your friend, so do not talk to me like

All relationships come with problems and happiness but sometimes the problems can be too much to bear. Theorists have come up with theories that you could apply to your relationship that could help the problems you have. The problems I think my boyfriend and I have are listening and our relationship maintenance. I don’t think either of us listen to each other with our full attention. I’ve noticed that when we argue and he says something I try and defend my position without even taking into consideration what he had to say. When it comes to his listening I feel he is always just too preoccupied or mad to even understand what I’m trying to say.

Communication is the number one key to a good relationship. When there is no communication between both parties involved in the relationship, that is when the relationship fails whether it is a man and a woman, or a child trying to divorce his/her parents or friends cutting their ties forever.

Friendships and romantic relationships makes our lives go round. Without them our lives would be dull and lonely. Unlike family members, we are allowed to choose our friends and lovers. There are various levels of friendships and diverse forms of romantic relationships, and they can all lead to being close, intimate, and loving. Both friendships and romances considerably enrich the well-being of our physical and mental state. Friendships can lead to romantic relationships, and romantic relationships can lead to just being friends.

Communication is a crucial part of our daily lives which can be interpreted in various ways. Although, many couples think they have no problems communicating with each other; however, the issue among genders still exists. Learning to talk and listen can improve relationships in many ways. Therefore, Deborah Tannen, John Gray, Susan Page, and John Gottman focused on improving communication skills between genders.
