Sometimes we 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.
It may save your relationship. In the coming days, I will add more content on the importance of communication skills in relationships simply because, at the end of day, if you have no one to share your happiness with, all the money in the world is worthless.
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
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.
Individualist patterns involve ideas of the self as independent, self-directed, and autonomous. Many Western conflict-resolution approaches presuppose exactly this kind of person: someone able to make proposals, concessions, and maximize gains in their own self-interest. Children raised in this milieu are rewarded for initiative, personal achievement, and individual leadership. They may be just as close to their families as a child raised in a communitarian setting, but they draw the boundaries differently: in case of a conflict, they may feel more free to choose their individual preference. Duty, honor, and deference to authority are less prominent for those with individualist starting points than communitarian ones.
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.
