Communication is so very important in relationship, all relationships, not just romantic relationships and the communication includes both verbal and non verbal varieties. A relationship is a connection and exchange between people. Communication plays a large role in the exchange between people. It exchanges information in the form of ideas, feelings, and much more. Incomplete or stopped communication can create a block in the relationship. The degree of the block can vary with the severity or repeating of the communication stop. A block in the relationship exists or will grow when communication is just flat out avoided. A childhood covenant that I made was to avoid upsetting other people. Now this did not always give me a good behaviour. Instead, it got me avoiding to communicating any topic that I perceived would upset someone else, however I adult relationships, this behaviour only avoided the hard issues that people have to work through for the relationship to be healthy and to grow .
