The Value Of Talking Every Day

Do you spend some quality time talking with your partner every day?

I don’t mean chatting about what you had for lunch or what you’re going to watch on the box, but real conversations in which you genuinely share your plans, fears, and aspirations, and sort out your differences in an adult way.

If you do, it’s a strong sign of a healthy relationship, the kind that’s marked by open communication between the partners.

Should you find yourselves talking less and less or restricting yourselves to trivial topics, it should be a cause for concern. You may want to consider consulting a relationship counsellor. Auckland specialists are ready to help you start really communicating again.

Silence is Not Always Golden

A silent relationship is often one that’s been drained of all emotional connection. It suggests the partners don’t value each other enough to feel the need to share thoughts and feelings. Of course, that doesn’t mean that a noisy one is great. It depends on the quality of the communication.

Quality communication is marked by honesty. For this reason it can lead to conflict. This is healthy if it leads to an enhanced understanding. The fact is that negative issues will inevitably arise however much you’re in love. You are two different people. It’s how you deal with conflict and negativity that matters.

Unfortunately, today’s hectic lifestyles often mean we lack the time or energy to really open up to each other the way we used to. Preoccupied with our own agendas, we turn inward. We generally sense that our communication is not what it should be, but we resolve to deal with it another day.

The sad fact that is many relationships crash and burn before that day comes.

So what’s the answer?
