Never leave words unspoken, because this is exactly how a relationship deteriorates. Communication is key in any relationship. How are you suppose to feed one another's desires, if you aren't open with each other? It's important to understand what triggers each others desires and emotions, to help build a healthy foundation of a relationship.

Communication is a two-way streak. When you are able to open about the past, things about who you are, what you're like becomes easier. You open up an entire foundation of trust. You become comfortable with one another and learn more about each other. Communicating can a make relationship so simple, especially if both of you have an open mind. Not everything you tell your partner is going to be easy. Not everything they tell you will be either. Having a partner is being able to count on one another. The only way that's possible is to open up with one another's needs, problems and desires.

My relationship between myself, and my girl was struggling a little bit. We both had quite strong feelings for each other. We were definitely into one other, but we weren't completely comfortable and sure if we can open up completely. Because we couldn't, this quickly was leading to problems. Problems that could have potentially ruin the relationship for good. After a lot of miscommunication, frustration, and sadness shared. We vowed to clean up where we went wrong and quickly discovered it was coming from poor communication. Now we've both made promises to each other to open up more and the strength of our relationship couldn't be stronger. We feel more trusting with each other, knowing we can talk about whatever is going on. We smile more, laugh, talk about things we couldn't, or wouldn't before. We aren't afraid to one another the things we might not want to hear. We both might not always like what we say, but we mean well and just want to help no matter what. Being able to tell your partner the hard things, is what builds the undying strength of a relationship. Communicating is how to count on each other when you need a shoulder the most.

Trust is important in any relationship as well. We all know that, you have to be able to trust your partner one hundred percent. To gain that trust, it starts by opening up. Communicating honestly with someone, is exactly how gain the trust needed to maintain a healthy relationship. Every relationship starts with a bit uncertainty, not exactly sure what you are going to get from the other person.

Sometimes communicating what they don't want to hear, isn't always easy. Sometimes communicating the hard truth, doesn't always get you a lot of love. Keeping something to yourself, doesn't leave you the satisfaction that you are benefiting fully from the relationship at the same time. Have a little faith in your relationship.
