Discover The Power Of Positive Communication In Relationships

Last updated by Katie M.

A friend once told me that a relationship is like the inside of a snow globe; intimate, preserved and sheltered. We build our relationships over time, but each criticism, each remark and each insult shatters this globe and could possibly see its beauty totally disappearing. In what state is your snow globe? As for me, I decided to repair the first visible damage to mine, by using positive communication.

The importance of positive communication in love

Today, caring education is emphasized and strongly recommended to young parents. The idea being that encouragement, compliments, listening and encouraging behaviors contribute to well-being, happiness and the acquisition of self-confidence. If it works for children, why should things be different in adult relationships? If our environment emphasizes the positive, we will be more motivated, have a much better chance of getting better and continue to move forward serenely. If, on the other hand, everything we hear is negative, we will most likely collapse. By telling my husband that he's not caring and that he doesn't make any effort, do you really think he's going to end up changing? There's nothing to be gained by constantly going putting your spouse down.

4 Tips on how to communicate positively on a daily basis

To grow or save your relationship, talking positively to your spouse is an excellent place to start. But before it becomes automatic, you have to practice!

1. Say "I love you"

We should never wait until it's too late before saying "I love you" to our loved ones, especially with our spouse. Hearing an "I love you" from time to time is flattering, it feels good, it makes the heart beat, and it strengthens feelings. If you have trouble expressing your feelings, make an effort and get out of your comfort zone and the effect will be even more powerful.

2. Enjoy your special couple time

After being apart, remember to hug, kiss and say hello when you see each other. These small gestures reinforce the feeling of union and can sometimes erase the worries of the day. Thanks to these small gestures, your spouse will feel more loved and desired.

3. Listen carefully

There are also times when we want to appear attentive and concerned at all costs and where we give advice after advice. Except that, sometimes, when our spouse confides his concerns to us, it's simply to have an attentive ear and not a ton of roundabout advice. It's true, if you think about it, most of the time we already know very well what we have to do, we just want to complain, confide in each other and receive support or encouragement. In short, listen and give advice only if you are asked. Active listening is a powerful communication tool in a couple.

4. Encourage and support each other

Encouraging your lover is very positive and can have a liberating and powerful effect, because it boosts self-confidenceOf course, it's useless to give false hopes, but to give compliments on a daily basis, to show admiration, if you look closely, it doesn't cost much, and it's very constructive for the couple.

Editor's note - Spending time together

In relationships, communication is important, but we should add that it is face-to-face communication that is important. Nowadays, many disputes between couples are settled by text. Face to face discussions are the cement of the relationship and the best way to achieve this is of course to spend as much time as possible together. The expectations of your partner should not remain in the darkness, and you should feel close to each other.

10 Reasons Why Your Ex Slept With Someone Else After Your Breakup

We are all unique individuals, and we, therefore, go about handling breakups and the other obstacles life throws our way, differently. Now, when it comes to breakups, there are those of us that almost become celibate and decide that they can't stand the idea of getting to know anyone ever again. Then, on the other hand, there are those that fill their phones with dating apps and jump from one one-night stand to the next. This second scenario may seem harmless, but once we dig a little deeper into the repercussions of it, we soon realize that sleeping with other people so freshly out of a relationship masks troubling sentiments of unhappiness and uneasiness.

What Is Gaslighting And Why Is It So Dangerous?

Gaslighting is one of the most destabilizing and covert forms of manipulation out there, and often makes victims feel completely lost and broken. This scary scenario essentially involves brainwashing via deception and is frequently characterized by blatant denial and emotional blackmail. ‘No, darling, I would never lie to you. I love you too much for that. Remember, it was you who stained my collar with lipstick... you forget everything.’ This is a classic example of this type of abuse, and trust me, I should know because I’ve been through it...

Narcissists often get bad press, and although many of us try to see the best in most people, in their case, it can be extremely difficult to find. The truth is, folks with this personality disorder don’t exactly have many redeeming qualities that could potentially help to excuse and explain their borderline evil behavior.

After a succession of dating disasters, I decided that it was time I took a step back to analyze the root of my consistent heartbreak.

Although, that being said, meeting toxic monsters seems to be a lot less complicated, well at least for me, it seems that way, that’s right, I have a real talent for it.

I’ve always been very open with my dating history, so if you’ve read some of my other articles, you’ll probably already know that, none of my relationships have ever fulfilled me, or even made me feel good about myself. In fact, since dating my most recent partner, who was by the way a raging narcissist, I’ve decided that I need to take a break from love, and instead, spend more time on finding myself. How did I get to this point? Well, when I was with my ex, no matter how hard I tried, our love disintegrated, well at least for me, it did. I can now firmly say that all the tears, arguments, and pain have taught me that loving someone with narcissistic tendencies will only ever end in disaster, and I’m about to share why.

You’ll never look at your coworkers in the same way again!

What Does Narcissistic Abuse Feel Like?

Narcissistic abuse is truly one of the most crushing and soul-destroying trials anyone can go through. When we are subjected to such intense emotional manipulation at the hands of someone we believe cares for us, our mental health certainly takes a hit, and we can even lose our sense of reality and end up thinking that we are the problem. Abusive relationships come in all forms; whether they are romantic, friendship based or occur in a professional setting, they are all equally damaging and agonizing. As someone who has experienced this type of abuse first-hand with my ex-boyfriend, I want to share with you what it feels like.
