Letter of Advice 2

Advice for communicating effectively in Relationships

Dear Sarah and John,

First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the both of you on your recent engagement! I am more than thrilled to give the both of you advice from what I learned taking a interpersonal communication course. I will also implement my own personal experience from my relationship in order to give you both the best possible advice I can muster. Communication is one of the most important foundations within a relationship and marriage.

Communication can determine whether the relationship will last for many years, or unfortunately if it will end suddenly or overtime. Communication is very important in the beginning as well as throughout the relationship in order for the relationship to go smoothly. However, no one is perfect at communicating and we all tend to communicate on different levels thus is way I am giving the best possible advice on communicating for a healthy, happy and long relationship. I hope you find the information I give to be beneficial in your relationship.

When communicating with your spouse, please remember that words have the power to create and effect attitudes, behavior, and perceptions. Words are can be very powerful and if the wrong words are used then they can be painful, hurtful, as well as damage the relationship. Not only the words we speak but also our body language facial features all come into play when attempting communication with other people (Sole, 2011).
