COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY



Has anyone ever told you..."I can't read your mind" or "You should have told me what you wanted."
COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY to a healthy & strong relationship.
This skill of communication can dictate how well you function in life. It involves a great percentage of all we do.
Our interactions with others play a large role in our social stability. When we find it hard to communicate our thoughts & feelings openly we run the chance a living a very isolated existence.
Verbal communication can afford you promising relationships. However, there are always different degrees of happiness that only you or I can determine for ourselves.
The institution of marriage is the one area that showcase how beautiful a man & woman can flow together when harmony & healthy communication is in place....
How can TWO walk together, unless they agree.... There must be a level of communication in place in order for them to live together in peace & love. Respect, honor and devotion cultivates the act of communication.
Personality & upbringing adds flavor to your expression of communication, but it should never be used as a weapon to punish anyone.... Words can build up or tear down...inspire or discourage.
Communication is a CHOICE and when done properly, it can bless a lot of people.
Why do we see so much happiness on the day we say I do....and so many tears throughout the years we add thereafter? Communication can be as complex as love itself if we stay closed minded.....but if we examine the effects our language causes to those around us...we can make a conscious effort to correct the vice within us that causes us to exhibit such behaviors.
I was blessed to attend two very special marriage ceremonies within our family. I watched these couples reach a level of communication in their relationships that moved me immensely. I witnessed how different their language of love flowed toward their fiance' and how well received their men became as they communicated where they were at during that particular time in life.
I saw TWO beautiful ladies present themselves to the man of their dreams....I witnessed the love, commitment & communication relayed in the vows they made.... I felt the love, regard & respect in their actions....Yes I heard harmonious communication surface from their lips, pronouncing they were now MRS. Crowder.... MRS. Royster
In order for us to survive the attacks that come up against our relationships, we must make a gallant effort to communicate truth, & sincerity.....Even in the acts of being angry...we can still bring our point across in a calm, less intrusive manner.
Controlling our tone....helps digress the electricity in a heated conversation....
We can be angry, but don't go off the deep end trying to be heard, or getting in the last word....what good is the last word, if we're left all alone to deal with it?
Remember, once we release WORDS out of our mouth, they have to potential to do good or evil.
We all need to take the time to think before we speak because, "Communication Is The Key" to a life of PLEASURE or POISON!!!
