Communication is born out of the desire that you care about someone!

That moment you last saw and said goodbye when you had to part never meant you were shutting your minds against each other. And so, the next time you meet needn't necessarily be in person, but the power of communication, if wisely explored, would bridge the gap.

Keeping in touch with your loved ones, and especially one with whom you share the same passion goes a long way to cracking the nut that you care and desire best for their well being.

Everyone loves to be cared for (not only babies), and for someone you love, the need for communication cannot be over-emphasized.

There is no relationship whatsoever that can thrive without effective communication. And as such, hundreds, thousands, millions, and more have packed up, and are still languishing in pains and regret for failure to adopt effective communication as a necessary tool in their relationship.

We need as a matter of necessity, the will to do as well as the well to do as regards communication to bridging the gap in our minds and of course distance when we are physically unavailable.

The moment this is done efficiently, trust gains ground, love grows, our well being is enhanced, and there is born an emotional satisfaction and fulfillment that someone somewhere cares about you.

Dwelling on the emotional satisfaction, I dare say that communication is a fuel and tonic if we must sustain and maintain a healthy relationship with our loved ones. Everyone feels light when picking up the phone and all you hear is 'I just want to be sure you are alright and doing well. Take care of yourself."

It's brief and short, but it breeds a sense of belonging and greatness to the receiver and could spur the mind to achievements. In fact, sometimes, that could just be what was needed to make your day.

Needless to say how many burdens have been lifted off shoulders for just a simple and brief 'hello'.

For daters and lovers, the need is not seen for a relationship in 'dark' communication. Because, in a relationship there is always the need to air your views and opinions, make suggestions, commend good gestures, reassure commitment, etc. And communication is the medium through which all of these can be done.

In my opinion however, lovers who fail to communicate with each other, or would always wait till the other person calls in, are simply selfish.

Consider this simple analogy: communication is a basic debt we owe each other especially when we are physically distant. You need to pay to be debt free and you need be paid to free your debtors.
