Communication is a key part in all relationships. If you cannot talk to your partner, being with them becomes a pain.

If you have been struggling in this area or just feel a boost would benefit the both of you, by all means, sit down and talk things out. There is nothing wrong with being open and honest. Below I am going to go over some of the things you can do to help better your relationship. These things will create a perfect romantic environment.

13 Ways to Communicate Better Within You Relationship:

1. Don’t jump into arguments.

Jumping into arguments doesn’t do anyone any good. It only makes things worse. Sure, arguing is normal but think things through beforehand.

2. Sit down and talk things out.

Sit down and talk out your problems. Don’t feed into the flames. The more willing to really relax and take things one day at a time the better. Just talk about it, I promise it will make a difference.

3. Be willing to forgive.

Be willing to forgive and forget some of the small things. We all have our own problems in our relationships not everything is going to be perfect. Forgiveness is important.

4. Pay attention to your partner.

Paying attention to our partners and their needs is a key part of communication. It allows us to really grow as people and come closer together. The more we know about one another the more intimate things will be.

5. Listen to one another.

Don’t ignore your partner or his or her needs. Listen to the things he or she says. Their words matter just as much as your own.

6. Be aware of your partner’s emotions.

Don’t let your partner be upset for days on end without trying to fix things. Take into consideration their emotional needs and their wellbeing. Just because you’re arguing doesn’t mean you have to neglect one another.

7. Never stop having fun.

Having fun with your partner is a great way to bring the two of you closer. You communicate through finding things one another likes. Having fun is a form of physical communication regardless of how you look at it.

8. Don’t forget to breathe.

Even in your most upset moments remember to breathe. Sometimes we misunderstand one another and it leads to a lot of confusion. Just remember not everything is always as black and white as it seems.

9. Pick your battles wisely.

Choose your battles wisely, don’t dive into something that you don’t really care about in the first place. Fighting for the sake of fighting is not necessary. Only fight over things that matter.

10. Always be willing to show your face.

Don’t do anything over text messaging. If there is a problem talk it out in person. Text messages do not come off as they would in person. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

11. Be willing to let things go.

Be willing to let go of your own past and your partner’s past. Holding onto things will only cause more problems and conflict in the long-run. This is a very freeing experience and will allow you and your partner to heal in many ways.

12. Respect their boundaries.

Do not cross your partner’s boundaries. Respect those boundaries and your partner. This is a chance for you to properly build trust.

13. Don’t hurt each other on purpose.

Do not hurt your partner on purpose. Sure, that rude remark might be something you want to say when you’re angry but it will hurt your partner. Hold yourself back in these situations.
