People talk about good communication in relationships, but what does that mean?

Communication is an important part of a healthy relationship. It means being able to tell your partner how you feel, what you need, what you believe and what you want. It also means listening to and understanding your partner’s feelings, needs, beliefs and desires. It takes time and practice for two people to learn to communicate. It’s often the most difficult part of a relationship, but can be the glue that keeps people together because it allows the relationship to keep growing through mutual respect.

Communication is also about being honest. If you really like someone, just be honest and let them know. If and when you do get into a relationship, continue to be honest with your partner and let them know you expect the same.
