If anyone has not heard of or seen the "Love Lab" Videos i highly recommend you go find them, they have changed my opinion greatly. These videos consist of a Doctor who talks to couples about the major "problems" in their marriages. The one that i viewed talked all about the couples finical struggles and how they didn't really listen to each other. It was very insightful
When it comes to communication i always thought it was something simple and it's just easy. You just talk, that is how you communicate. But when i came to school here i soon realized that we communicate in subtle ways without noticing. I think that communication needs to be a conscious effort on both parties involved. If you care about someone i think that you should and would do everything you can to communicate with them.
We also read a talk by Elder Ballard that i think brought up some good points here is the link: http://www.lds.org/general-conference/1993/10/strength-in-counsel?lang=eng
I will just touch on my favourite parts of the talk.
What he mostly talked about was that the best way to get things done is to counsel together with people and work through issues through talking. This is what we do a lot in the church and i think that when we apply these things to our families, they are only strengthened.
All in all without communicating we wouldn't get anywhere. So do your best to accurately communicate your true feelings to those you care about. :)
