No one wants to talk face-to-face with anyone anymore. It’s ‘awkward’, ‘tiring’, and just unnecessary in the eyes of today’s youth, but so what? That’s the charm of it; it’s real. The fun of conversation is to make inside jokes, and tease people, and have deep conversations, and laugh at yourself later, and learn life lessons, and gain confidence, but that’s impossible over text.

It is amazing to think about how we had to rely on

To ensure a strong foundation, strong communication is important and can lead to a healthy and successful relationship. Communicating not only issues but good things about the relationship itself. For example “relational savoring may be an effective tool for preventing declines in relationship satisfaction”, says Borelli (2015:1103 ) In this study, couples who were able to savor their relationship had a higher satisfaction rating than those who did not.
