Neccessity of Understanding

Ones can take the most important things in life for granted and not to realize it is importance until it is too late. Many of us take our relationships for granted and move on until one day we wake up to realize, we do not have the connection any more.

Sometimes, this can lead to breakups or divorce, or simply just an uncomfortable relationship. Suddenly we realize something is wrong in the way things are going. . These sad experiences lead me to realize the most important thing in life is your relationships.

Good communication is the key to a good marriage. If you are having problems communicating with you spouse or you feel that there is a breakdown in your family communication. A person may need to check the attitude of feelings through expression of thoughts. Am I living by the fruits of the spirit and the intent of my heart?
Importance of Effective Communication
The importance of effective communication is demonstrated through daily activities. Everyday people all of the world rely on communication. Whether oral, auditory, written, electronic, non-verbal, or any other means, the communication process is repeated many times daily. Communication is the primary means by which people obtain and exchange information. When communication is misunderstood, schools, organizations, relationships, businesses, ideas, products, and people suffer. Eliminating misunderstandings is a key part of effective communication.
Communication is defined as the exchange of thoughts, messages, ideas, or information as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior. Effective communication occurs only if receivers understand the exact message the sender intended to transmit and feel the information at the end of exchange is clear. The ultimate goal of communication is to convey information and understanding of information from one person or group to another person or group.
Individual and communitarian identities are two quite different ways of being in the world. They connect at some point, of course, since all groups are made up of individuals and all individuals find themselves in relationship with various groups. But the starting points are different. To discern the basic difference, ask yourself which is most in the foreground of your life, the welfare, development, security, prosperity, and well-being of yourself and others as individuals, or the shared heritage, ecological resources, traditional stories, and group accomplishments of your people? Generally, those who start with individualism as their beginning tend to be most comfortable with independence, personal achievement, and a competitive conflict style. Those who start with a communal orientation are more focused on social connections, service, and a cooperative conflict style.
Communication is the way we interact with others and express our feelings, thoughts, needs, and ideas. It involves not only words, but also our gestures, facial expressions, body positions, and perceptions. It is a complex process that requires more than clarity in use of words; it requires consistency between our words and our gestures, facial expressions, body “language” and perceptions. It also requires active listening and careful feedback of what is understood. Complicated as it always is, communication becomes even more complicated when it comes to natural and spiritual families communication and relationships.
Active listening is one of the most important elements of family communication. If you do not actively participate in the listening process, you'll find it difficult to solve problems or to make necessary adjustments as a family.

A comeplete bond with God, it the best way to help stabalaize any other realationships.
