Communication is not only the key to overcoming obstacles, it is the key component to happiness in all relationships. In order for other to understand your wishes and feelings communication is a must. When problems arise in relationships many people resort to the very popular "silent treatment", but does this really solve anything? Little is accomplished by this tactic, in fact more damage to the relationship will most likely be caused. This punishment does not only hurt the person you are angry with, but the frustration and discouragement that come with keeping silent about your feelings will hurt you also. Refusing to talk to each other will only heighten the tension between the two individuals and does little to solve the problem. If your anger does finally subside and you start talking again you will most likely find that the issue that started the "silent treatment" will not get discussed and, of course, will not get resolved. So when problems arise in relationships, communicate with each other. Use both components of communication, talking and listening. If you use both of these avenues when you communicate, and you do so with an open mind and heart, you will find that obstacles are much easier to overcome.
