All relationship problems stem from poor communication.

Help couples keep communication strong or help communicate in an effective way.

Introduction

This presentation is geared towards helping couples develop better verbal and nonverbal communication skills. All relationship problems stem from poor communication. Learning to communicate will help insure a longer lasting and stronger relationship. Communication can be as simple as eye contact, the tone of your voice, and if you ask questions. Eye contact shows if your interested and conveys your emotion. Tone lets the receiver hear emotion, and asking questions lets someone know that you are listening and interested in what they have to say.

Look at the person

If conversation is important, don’t break eye contact

Keep expression neutral

Eye contact

Eye contact is a very important nonverbal communication skill to know. Without eye contact it might seem to the person speaking that you are not interested at all in what they have to say. It is a good idea to always look the person in the eyes whenever possible, try to keep a neutral expression unless the conversation calls for it. Look at the person when they are talking to you, it helps to shows interest in what is communicated.

Sound sympathetic

Don’t raise voice

Non defensive tone

Tone of voice

Always try to control your tone of voice when having a conversation with others. The tone of your voice can change the dynamics of the conversation and take it to a place you didn’t intend. To communicate in a good way you need to sound sympathetic, don’t raise voice and use a non defensive tone. Keep your voice calm and only show emotion in your voice when it calls for it.

4

Show interest

Ask for details

Ask about their day

Ask questions

Asking questions helps to show the person you are speaking with that you are interested in the conversation. Ask them for details, doing so helps to show them in a verbal way that you are paying attention and are asking for clarification about the topic. A good way to start a conversation with someone is to ask them about their day. Everyone, even someone who is having a not so good day feels important if someone asks about an event that happened to them or just about their day. Asking about their day is good practice for developing your communication skills.

Keeping or starting communication in an effective way is key to a strong relationship. You need eye contact, a good tone of voice, and to ask questions. All people crave a strong connection with their significant other, to have that connection you need to communicate.

Conclusion

Without good verbal and nonverbal communication no relationship can last very long. All strong relationships have strong communication. Without communication there is not a deep-rooted connection between people. Going into a conversation with no eye contact, bad tone of voice, and no questions to show interest, can hurt a relationship.
