Why Is Communication In A Relationship Important?
We are a social being. We need communication.
Unless as a couple, we develop in the area of communication we will fail terribly.
The most important thing in a relationship is to communicate with each other daily.
We might be good in all other areas, but if we neglect this it can destroy our relationship.
