Communicating correctly is an art, which is often undervalued, especially in relationships. When we get too comfortable with our partner, we tend to speak our minds just too freely; sometimes so freely that the other person gets hurt in the process. Although you should be free to say whatever that is in your mind and heart, but when it comes to your relationship, you should take care of a few things, or the rose of love gets stormed by thorns of badly used words. If you think you are facing some troubles in your relationship because the communication between you guys have just gone down south, then you are at the correct address here, for we are going to share with you ‘Three Golden Rules Of Communication’, to help revive your relationship.
1Say what you want, rather than saying what you DON’T want

No matter how amazingly cool you are with one another, there might still always be some problems when it comes to expressing what exactly you want from a person. And that problem, more often than not comes from the usage of negative words in your speech. When you need something from your partner, it is always a good idea that you don’t use words such as “won’t “and “don’t.” You can simply say that you would like a certain thing to be done in a certain manner than going on about how you “wouldn’t” want that thing in some manner. For example - The Bad Message: I don’t want you to control my life’s decisions. The Good Message: I want you to trust me. See, this was so simple. The same meaning; but said without the mention of a negative angle given to the message, and just as impactful.
