Week 10

This week in class we learned about communication Often times couples say that they don't communicate well with each other, that is because they aren't actually communicating at all! There are many means of communication there are words, tone and non-verbal communication. Most of the time 14% of communication is words, 35% is tone and over 50% is non-verbal. My professor said that they most effective way to communicate is to communicate not be to be understood but communicate so you will not be misunderstood. Some other ideas that class mates gave on how to communicate effectively was to not beat around the bush, to validate what the other person is saying, listen, use I feel statements, communicate love and focus-don't bring up the past!
