A Marriage & Pre-marital Counseling Individual & Family Therapy Resource |
As a married man and a counselor who works with couples, I am reminded daily about the importance of healthy communication. It is considered one of the foundational building blocks necessary in any relationship. Our openness as well as skill in communicating varies from person to person and is influenced by many factors including our temperament, personality and what we saw modeled in our family of origin growing up. In some families, there is a poverty of communication where family members are left to guess or make assumptions about the needs and expectations of others. In other homes, communication may not be safe and words are used to harm and attack one another creating a destructive environment.
