Communication

I think that I have discovered for myself that communication is the single most important part of a relationship. Recently, my girlfriend and I went through a tough spot. I was not certain what was going to happen, but was ready to assume that we were done. I went to visit and we talked. After about 3 hours we discovered some things about me, her, us, and some misunderstandings too. By being very honest, we closed some wounds and began the relationship on an even deeper level than before.

What I learned most was that honest, open communication clears the air and put everyone involved in the same boat. We are much better off for it.

As always, I look forward to your comments, Scott
