Communication & Mutual Problem Solving

As we've all been socialized, we know that there are many other forms of communication besides verbal. In fact, verbal is the least important when compared to body language, and tone. "It's not what you say, it's how you say it". That is why it is important to watch the way we are saying things because someone could get the complete wrong message in which we meant to send. If we want to have open communication with our family and friends we can't hold back and add negative flavors to our language that give mixed signals. Sarcasm can be the deadliest weapon of language, and hurt others even when we are not meaning to. If we have problems within our families we shouldn't be afraid to counsel with each other and speak honestly about what we are feeling. Without doing this, a lot of issues could be smothered under the surface until they grow into resentments and distance us from the ones we love. Communication is probably the most important factor in any relationship, especially between husband and wife. If you aren't able to talk to each other, you can't do much of anything useful together.
