I would wager that most happy couples openly communicate with each other. Communication is a tremendous cxomponent of everyday life, and to an even further degree in the context of relationships; without it, shit can go sideways extremely quickly. With it, conflict has a much smaller window of opportunity to present itself in.
It could be something as small as letting your partner know you’re running behind and will be a few minutes later getting home than usual; it could also be something more pressing, for example, expressing your concerns about finances to your partner. Regardless of the weight of the matter, ensuring open and frequent communication with the person you’re in a romantic relationship with is positively vital.
A lot of people struggle with communication, and that is okay. However, considering the fact that the year is 2025 and there are more resources available to the public than ever before about such matters, there really is no excuse. When I say resources, I’m referring to the internet, therapists, couples counsellors, etc.
In addition to professions catering more and more to helping individuals with problems like expression and communication, there have never been so many communication mediums available to us as there are now. Perhaps you feel more comfortable communicating your feelings in person, whereas someone else might prefer to use the written word. You could also opt for a phone call or even text messaging, but tone can be easily misconstrued, so pay mind to that.
Communication could arguably be considered the foundation of any healthy relationship, and it makes sense why that would be. Without it, a relationship will quickly begin to crumble, and it is required to strengthen and fortify an existing bond. Some conversations will be great, and others might be awful, but either way, talking to the person you love is always the right choice.
