The Importance of Communication in Relationships
<p>I used to think love was enough. That feelings, raw, unspoken, intense, could carry the weight of any relationship. But silence is a strange language. It can either mean peace, or distance.</p><p><br></p><p>I learned this the hard way.</p><p><br></p><p>There were moments when “I’m fine” was a silent scream. When eye contact was avoided, not out of indifference, but fear. We weren't fighting, we just stopped talking. And that quiet, it grew roots.</p><p><br></p><p>What I’ve come to understand is this: communication isn't just talking, it's connecting. It's having the courage to say, “This hurt me,” or “I need you,” or “I don’t understand, but I want to.”</p><p><br></p><p>Good communication is vulnerability in motion. It’s the bridge between minds, and more importantly, hearts.</p><p><br></p><p>In every healthy relationship I’ve witnessed, there’s one common thread, they talk. Openly. Kindly. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.</p><p><br></p><p>Because silence doesn’t protect relationships, it starves them.</p><p><br></p><p>I’m learning, slowly, imperfectly, that love is not just about presence. It’s about clarity, about listening deeply, about speaking gently. About staying when it’s uncomfortable, so you don’t lose someone to confusion or assumptions.</p><p><br></p><p>So, talk. Not just when things break, but so they don’t.</p><p><br></p><p>Because communication isn’t a luxury in love,</p><p><br></p><p>It’s the foundation.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
