Communication and Mutual Problem Solving

Communication is one of the important skills we use to interact with each other. There can be times where someone may have trouble encoding their feelings or ideas to another person. Some may use nonverbal communication, which is body language, to interact with someone and hope the other person decodes the message. A person can decode what the messenger puts together for the intended idea, but sometimes people struggle to interpret each other’s communications.

When spouses talk to each other about how they are feeling or if they have problems, they may have a difficult time expressing what is bothering them because they are afraid of what the other person says. It is better if a husband and wife ask in the moment how each other feels. This can help decode the messages they are trying to send. If they wait, they will suppress the emotions. If you don’t tell the person how you feel, anger will keep building up. Communication is hard because no one wants to hurt the other person’s feelings by saying the wrong thing. If spouses can work together and help one another communicate this can make a significant difference in their relationship.

Single people that have problems with their roommates may have a difficult time communicating with them because of not knowing how to express their feelings very well. Their roommates may not understand why and resent them instead of showing sympathy and helping them interpret the message they’re trying to send. Some will be reluctant to use words because they want the other person to try to decipher the message.

It’s hard to communicate sometimes, but good things can happen if you tell them how you feel. The comfort level will go up, and you will trust them more. They will respect you as a person. There will be less conflict with each other. If you are good at communicating, you can succeed in your marriage, your job, and with your co-workers, friends, family, and roommates.
