Thank you Serena for this blog post. I had not seen the levels of communication put so plainly before. I also liked, “First take care of the problems that hurt feelings in the relationship…” This is great way to bring the emotional level down.
I also have a blog where I write about marriage communication and other family issues. It is: letsthinkhealthy.com ( let’s think healthy.com)
Thank you again for this blog post. It was very insightful.

Thanks for stopping by yodel! And you are right…the 5 levels of communication are very helpful to understand in our relationships. We always have to work at our relationships and communication is definitely the key.

We have been married for 23 years. I am not saying it was always easy. Some very hard times but we learned to look at the hard times as growing times. I have a very mature wife and so she was able to help me with my anger and how to share my emotions. But and this is the key…I went to her for help and also to outside professional help and most of all I went to God. I am trying to grow with my relationship with my wife, meaning, I keep growing in my personal life as well, I never stay stagnant. I actually hate being stagnant as a person. I want to grow. As you grow so will your communication with God which will affect your relationship with your wife. I wish it would be that easy!

Being a man and married for almost 4 years now, I’ve already experienced the negative effect of poor communication in marraige. Luckily my wife and I have realised that we need to work on this anc actually get some coaching. I’ve never thought of actual communication training…will look this up, thanks. Getting back to good communication is no easy task, becasue we are so used to shouting at one another, or most of the time completely ignoring one another. So one needs to be patient and give the process time. One of the most effective ways to communicate better with one’s partner is to work on and control your tone of voice. If you can remain calm and talk in a normal tone and not raise it, then I believe the battle for effective communciation is half way won. Communciation is key to a healthy relationship…Don’t be fooled…it is not eas, because this is somehting both you and your partner needs to work at daily.

Sometimes you are so right badeth, that people aren’t always totally honest and may say ‘I love you’ while at the same time already planning to go their own way.

Richa, I think you you are right, that with every relationship there do come disagreements and arguments but that’s where the different levels of relationship come into play. When we are committed in a relationship then we are willing to go level 4 and 5…sharing of emotions and gut level sharing so we can work through the disagreements and arguments.

i don’t believe that starting to the word i love you….. sometimes when your partner told you that words that’s the time he/she will say goodbye…
