Communication

We live in a world where we communicate in many forms like texting, body language, Facebook, tweeter, e-mail, youtube, and the list can go on. As the human race we feel a necessity or have the desire to communicate what we are thinking, feeling, and wanting. A great deal of communication has to do with body language, tone, and words. We must recognize that we all have a different culture even if we are all Americans each family unit and person has their own individual culture. We must try to master and be successful in reading each others language especially the language of our spouse and family. Static Noise- is noise what makes anything for us not to hear the message. We must be aware of the static noise in our relationships and remember to pick our battle wisely and don't complain. I really like these words of wisdom. "You can communicate everything but don't communicate everything" Dr. Michael Williams I think part of being able to communication is being able to listen. Don't be just casually listening when others are trying to communicate. When it comes to relationships we hope that we play poker with our cards down and that we both make a good hand. I like this analogy by Dr. Michael Williams professor at BYU-Idaho in Family and Marriage Department. When facing conflict in your families and relationships remember this all conflict is not bad, it's part of growing and figuring out what works what doesn't and what needs to be changed! Don't be afraid of conflict embrace it fix it and move on :)
