what is communication in a relationship?

when people say you need communication in a relationship, do they mean you need to just talk about stuff like the weather or each others interests or do they specifically mean talk about problems, like telling your partner it bothers them when you come home late, etc… or is it both. How often should you communicate also?

I think it’s both. You definitely want to let your partner know how you feel about things (good and bad). If s/he does something that shows thoughtfulness, make sure that you acknowledge their actions. On the other hand, if you feel that s/he was being inconsiderate by staying out all night without calling, then you need to voice your concerns about that, too. Always try to express your feelings in a loving way. Good luck!

    Yes, communication means telling each other how you feel, and how much you love one another, and also talking normally about how your day went and all of that – don’t keep yourself distant from your beloved, just always keep and touch and that is simply communication.

    Communication in a relationship is women talking and men dropping everything they are doing and pretending to listen.

    yes communication is all the things you mention and much more like communicate through gifts, affection and by being silent and listening etc…. Talking yes but communications is so broad its hard to just say its only talking because it includes actions and other forms of expression.

    you should communicate all the time.. even if its just a meaningful look or a flutter of eyelashes. its about discussing what concerns you and what you enjoy. your day, your plans together and apart. its not lying to each other.. honetsy is key. its not fighting.. once someone starts yelling the other stops listening and thats not communication either.

    Communication is key to a successful relationship. My 10 year marriage was on the rocks until I started couple’s/marriage therapy. r couples counseling. It helped to get my 10 year marriage back on track. Our key issue was not communicating our needs with each other. As we communicated less, spent less time together, became more distant and the communication got even worse. It was a viscous cycle. (My therapist told me that).
