What causes breakups or divorces in couples? The reason can be just anything or many things but one thing that also plays a key role in leading to a break-up of a relationship is lack of communication or miscommunication. There are certain important things to know about communicating with your partner who if wrongly used, then may set your ways apart from one another.

So, keep the following things in your mind while being in a relationship with your partner and save your relation from being broken due to misunderstanding and lack of a good communication: Explain things well and make mature replies when your partner is expecting an answer from you in stead of simply saying “no” and making things worse. Tell him or her that you will need time and will talk to him when you are free and don’t finish or keep an answer incomplete simply by ignoring to answer him

Rely more on verbal communication rather than trying to shorten up the answer through non-verbal gestures. The gestures you are making may mean something else to you and may imply a reverse thing to your partner. Better, you use verbal words to explain things and make an eye contact to show him that he means to you, and you give due importance to him. Don’t bring the attitude of winning or loosing a battle while arguing or discussing over a topic with him/her.

Stop interrupting in the mid of a sentence of your partner and let him/her finish giving his/her statement. Interrupting in the mid of a serious talk when your partner is saying something very important, according to him, to you must first have the patience of listening to the whole thing and then give your reaction. Also, keep yourself away from giving long lectures without any sign of stopping anywhere to listen to him/her.
