Communication in a Marriage

I have always found communication to be important and fascinating. This is probably one of the reasons why I made it my Major at BYU-Idaho. I really enjoyed our little drawing experiment we conducted class today. I believe that it fully explains why it is important to learn how to understanding and "decode" one another's messages. We truly learn how to communicate with one another when we have been around them long enough to know their communication loop. Another important take away from the class this evening was the value in alone time between spouses. As newlyweds we often have alot of alone time, but I know that may not be the case when we begin to build our family. It may sound silly, but some of the most memorable and important conversations my husband and I have had have been in bed alone before we go to sleep. I appreciate the relaxing environment and alone time we are able to spend with one another away from the busy and bustling world. Communication is key in every successful relationship, and I am grateful that we have smooth communication in ours.
