Communication Is Key

Too often I talk to my friends that are fortunate enough to be in a loving relationship, but cannot seem to communicate their issues/problems with each other. This absolutely drives me crazy! They come to me for advice on how to resolve their relationship issues the whole time trying desperately to avoid actually communicating the problems with their significant others. I don’t understand why people find it so hard to believe that communication is the key to any relationship. They do not realize just how lucky they are to have someone in their life that actually loves them and wants them in their lives every single day. Communication is such a small price to pay to keep that alive. But then I realize it is fear that is actually keeping them from communicating. How sad it that! The very thing that will end up keeping the relationship alive is the one thing most couples are afraid of! They can’t seem to get past the “what if” parts of communicating. They always say, “what if it starts a fight” or “what if I upset them” or something else similar. The funny thing is I always tell them that if they get hurt or it starts a fight now it’s probably a good thing. Failure to address the issues now will never make them magically go away later. Instead all it will do is create resentment and prolong the issue into a bigger problem leading to bigger fights and possibly irreparable damage to the relationship.

So if you are out there reading this right now and are lucky enough to have found love please stop and ask yourself if your communication could be better. Are there things in your relationship that could be better, do you hide your feelings, do you not share 100% of yourself? Start being honest, love yourself, open the doors of communication, save the love, create forever, and be happy! Or, keep on doing what you are doing and wind up being single and along, just like me! Take your pick! Trust me, you never really know what you got until it’s gone, and love is something you do not what to lose!
