What do you think is the single most important thing that makes or breaks your relationship?
After that initial attraction is created and shared between you both, the single most important part of your relationship is the level of communication you both share.
So does the way you and your partner
communicate make you feel loved and appreciated? Or does it only frustrate you and sometimes even make you
feel sad, alone, and misunderstood? Just because you have strong feelings for each other, it doesn't mean you're going to have the kind of communication you need to make your relationship truly work and last.
Maybe your partner doesn’t just open up and communicate the way you want or need them to. And because of this, you try to compensate by talking more and doing all the “work” in the relationship. This isn’t fair to you, and can become draining as your relationship loses that sense of “team effort.” Resentment can start to build up, which will either cause you to shut down, or blow up.
More love and sacrifice on your part is not going to make the lack of communication in your relationship better. Unfortunately, stretching yourself to the point of frustration and emotional breakdown isn't going to help you either. So then what should you do?
Stay tuned for my next post…I’m going to talk about how you can nurture your relationship with the way you communicate with each other. You don’t want to miss this!

I would also add that the communication component must contain the key aspect of HONESTY. Individuals who are parties to a relationship must feel as though they're allowed to express themselves honestly; whilst one should be able to expect to enjoy the same level of integrity of communication from one's partner.
