COMMUNICATION IS KEY IN RELATIONSHIPS.

According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary,, "Communication is the act or process of expressing and transferring ideas, feelings or of giving information.
**It is also methods of sending information across.
** It can be in form of words spoken, words written, and body movements or language in different ways....

WHEN COMMUNICATION BREAKS DOWN...

A). Someone else takes the place of someone. There can never be a vacuum. Never come to the point where you two are not communicating anyhow.
B). When communication is not what it should be, you will begin to see ones nakedness. You begin to find faults and even exploit ones weaknesses.
C). You sow fig leaves clothes. You begin to live in hypocritical pretensions. You live a cover up life. When people are there, you act cosy,,,
D). Worst of all, it affects and even damages your relationship with God. You can only hear HIS footsteps but will not experience HIS fellowship as in the beginning.

Communication breakdown affects your faith and afflicts your soul with pains and regrets.
You can even begin to blame God for blessing you with such a partner.

HOW TO OVERCOME IT.

1). WORK ON IT regularly. Always remember how it used to be in the beginning.
2). Always be TRUTHFULLY open to one another. Say what you really meant. Share your heart with one another always.
3). Never believe or think that your partner knows and remembers all things. Even you, are not as smart and as intelligent as you assume.
4). Never take your partner as one who will never understand. No one is as foolish as you think.
5). Be always ready to PATIENTLY explain to one another as you would do to an outsider.
6). Never MOCK your spouse inability to grasp the picture you are painting. Never undervalue or take your partner for granted.
7). Use every GOOD and HONORABLE means to communicate and KEEP the channels open.
Verbally praise and appreciate one another,,, no one is in your mind to know how much you love and care, if you maintain dumbo attitude.
8). Always be at ALERT against the infiltration of the spirit of misunderstanding and confusion.
Even friends and family members can be used by the devil to break down communication channels.
Pray, attack and conquer it.
