The Needs Of Marriage : The Importance Of Communication In Marriage

Marriage is oftentimes praised for all its good qualities, but people tend to avoid discussing the downsides of marriage in order to avoid discomfort. Confronting the problems that many couples face in marriage is hard, and most people find it easier to simply overlook any issues they may face to avoid furthering the problem. In “My Problem With Her Anger,” Eric Bartels elaborates on the struggles he and his wife face and what experiencing the effects of spousal anger feels like from a husband’s perspective. Through emotional appeal and anecdotes, Bartels semi-successfully argues that husbands are too often, and unfairly, on the receiving end of their wives’ anger and stress.

At the core of every healthy marriage is the ability to successfully communicate with each other. If the individuals in the marriage do not communicate effectively, they are both likely to experience frustration, anger and resentment. Effective communication in marriage is honestly the most important aspect of a successful relationship. In “Cathedral,” Raymond Carver is saying that communication within marriage is key and when there is a lack of communication it can cause frustration. This makes each individual disconnected because their true feelings aren’t being talked about so nothing is being resolved. Nobody's born a natural communicator and good communication is the key to improving your relationship.

In the article of “Why Most Marriages fail” the author states, Without proper communication, conflict resolution becomes a difficult issue. ”(McNicholl) When you don’t communicate with your significant other and there is tension or any type of conflict if you hold it back and don’t talk about it later on it will be more difficult to come to a solution on how to prevent it from happening again. In fact, the author also states, “If one or both partners lack effective communication skills it becomes difficult to Resolve arguments because the couple is not able to understand each other’s point of view”.(McNicholl) By not talking about the things that bother you to your significant other it’s hard for each you to see where your coming from. If your partner understands what exactly it is that bothering you then they know how to prevent themselves or fix it if it were to happen once again.

In the first chapter of her book, You Just Don't Understand, Men and Women in Conversation, Deborah Tannen quotes, "...studies have shown that married couples that live together spend less than half an hour a week talking to each other...". (24) This book is a wonderful tool for couples to use for help in understanding each other. The two things it stresses most is to listen, and to make yourself heard. This book opened my eyes to the relationship I am in now, with a wonderful person, for about four years. It made me realize that most of our little squabble-like fights could have been avoided, if one or the other of us could sit down and

Spouses like any human being does not like to be blamed, condemned, belittled, criticized, debased, blown off, insulted, nagged at or a target of your harsh words and attitudes.

My advice to you for a successful relationship is to be open and honest with each other about how you feel. It starts by identifying barriers to effective interpersonal communication. In fact, being open and honest with your significant other is very important in not creating problems later on the relationship. When you are honest you build trust.

When I interviewed Abigail Snaza, I gained more surprising results. When I asked her about who should be in charge in a relationship, without any hesitation, she spat out, “the woman.” She has a very independent demeanor, yet her prior questions had not suggested that was the answer she would give. She stated, “I think the man should be the head of the house and the protector of the rest of the family” (A. Snaza, personal communication, November 19, 2015). This statement alone would lead me to believe that she was more for traditional roles within marriage. However, she validated her statement of the woman being in charge with stating, “I think guys just have too much going on and women are more family focused and have the best interest at

Friendships and romantic relationships makes our lives go round. Without them our lives would be dull and lonely. Unlike family members, we are allowed to choose our friends and lovers. There are various levels of friendships and diverse forms of romantic relationships, and they can all lead to being close, intimate, and loving. Both friendships and romances considerably enrich the well-being of our physical and mental state. Friendships can lead to romantic relationships, and romantic relationships can lead to just being friends.

Communication is one of the most important aspects in romantic relationships and different communication styles can affect relationships differently. Relationships can be both positively and negatively affected depending on the level of communication between the partners.

Lack of communication is the root cause for most relationships problems. Communication is the key foundation in a relationship. Without its presence or absence, it affects the physical health. When communication is deprived, we would have no sense of ourselves. Communication enables us to survive and it has a major impact on all relationships. Without communication, a relationship has no chance of surviving its prime. To make communication work, each partner must be willing to ignore distractions and really focus on the other person. Communicating problems with a spouse, friend or family member is the easiest and most efficient way to keep a long lasting and healthy relationship. In a

When a couple is experiencing a marital drift, one of the individuals may not even realize they are going through the drift. This could happen if the person is consumed with the reason for the drift in the first place. Sometimes a person does not realize that there is an issue in the marriage until it is brought to their attention by their partner. If one partner has a secondary emotional reaction, then they may try to deny or repress their emotions and feel they do not have a marital issue (Clinton, 2006). When this is the case, the person who is feeling left out or forgotten, has to make sure they address the issue with their partner, but should do this is in a way that does not make their partner feel attacked. Once a person feels attacked, they are going to get defensive and shut down
