Thoughts

When we were babies and we are just starting to talk, we communicate by hand gestures in order for us to express what we want. As we grow old, we learn to talk and listen.
Communication helps us understand and be understood, it helps to remove misunderstanding and creating clarity of thoughts and expression.
Communication brings people closer. It bridges gaps from one person to another through the flow of information.

Why is it crucial in a relationship? Communication and trust are the two key ingredients in a healthy relationship. Without both, your relationship is likely to fail.
There are 2 types of communication:
1. Verbal
2. Non-verbal

Each one is as important as the other. There are nonverbal communicative acts that are easily and accurately translated into words. (https://www.mbaknol.com/business-communication/relationship-between-verbal-and-non-verbal-communication/ )
One big factor why relationship fail is lack of communication. They hold onto their feelings and thoughts for many different reasons. They fear rejection and concern they will do or say something to upset their partner.

Relationships are not difficult to maintain, if they involve healthy communication among one another. When each one knows how the other person thinks and feels about certain things, there is more openness and freedom in the relation, thus making it easier to maintain it.
