Communication is an act of conveying information and is a two-way process of interaction between two people. Many persons believe that talking to another person is communication. However, communication is not merely talking but conveying one's feelings, thoughts and desires to another person.

Communication can be oral like in face to face conversations or written through sending email messages or SMS. Communication is an important tool in conveying one's thoughts. It plays a significant role in relationships between couple.

A good communication helps in maintaining harmonious relationship between couples. On the other hand, poor communication will lead to frequent quarrels between the partners. In relationships, some partners lose temper if there is any difference of opinion between the couple.

There are others who quietly withdraw from the scene if the discussions between the couple become uncomfortable. Most people will simply get annoyed by the way their partners communicate, particularly if it is a sensitive issue and many feel frustrated that if only the partner would change his or her approach, communication between them would be much simpler and more enjoyable.

A relationship will get seriously affected if the communication methods between the partners are totally divergent from each other. If a person does not like certain aspects of the partner's communication habits, steps should be taken towards improving ways of communication suitable to both of them.

However, if one concentrates exclusively on the partner's communication problems, there will not be any affectionate, pleasant and coordinated communication with the partner. It, therefore, follows that loving the partner for many other good aspects, even when there are several irritants in communication, is really effective in maintaining a good relationship with the partner.

How does one contribute to communication dynamics? Communication between couple will greatly improve when the person views the partner's communication problems and the situation resulting from altercations between them from an entirely different perspective.

Suppose a person ignores for the time being the partner's irritating responses during heated arguments or when they talk about a delicate subject and looks beyond those undesirable communication habits of the partner, there may be significant improvement in the relationship. Instead of reacting sharply and blaming the partner, the person should be quiet and move into a defensive mode even before the partner becomes aggressive.

This will completely change the partner's behavior as what was expected did not happen. This way one will have a broader outlook of the partner's communication deficiencies. Consider good aspects that one loves about his or her partner.

Many times people remember only the partner's tantrums or the intemperate language he or she uses when ending an argument. However, if one sits down and thinks calmly, he may notice certain good aspects of the partner, even if there are trivial, that are worth appreciating.

If a person takes cognizance of those good points and admire the partner on those issues, it may help in changing his or her views about the partner and develop soft corner in spite of undesirable communication problems. It does not mean that one should disregard communication problem of the partner that has been contributing to unpleasant moments in the relationship.

What is required is not to consider this as the only issue that is spoiling the relationship and instead have a broader view of the situation with a feeling of love and forgiveness.
