Today in class we learned about decoding/encoding and good communication. Communication is key to a successful relationship it is basically what holds couples together. When we don't have good communication we assume things and that mostly ends in arguments. We must be able to open up to one another and share our opinions, wants, and needs. When you talk about things and put issues out on the table they can be resolved in a peaceful manner.

“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.”
