Communication
Definition of communication from the dictionary:
The act or process of communicating; fact of being communicated.
The imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs.
Something imparted, interchanged, or transmitted.
A document or message imparting news, views, information, etc.
Passage, or an opportunity or means of passage, between places.
Once you have made the commitment to work it out keep the lines of communication open. The more you speak to each other the closer you can become. Speak from the heart and use kind words. This will take effort from both parties in the relationship. Give the other person some reassurance and let that person know you value the effort they have put forth.
Try to be patient as you move through the steps to rebuild the relationship. Focus on the positive and be sensitive to each others feelings. Both parties need to be accountable for their actions. You may not be able to resolve all of your disagreements. You can agree to disagree about it and move on.
Be honest about all your feelings with each other. Be open to receive input from one another. Keep the discussions to the matter at hand. Do not bring up the past issues and allow it to contaminate your progress in this discussion. The past issues can always be discussed and sorted through at another time.
Neither person is a relationship expert and it may take more than the two of you. Get helpful information from books, internet groups, friends, or other family members. One or both of you may need to seek counseling at some point.
Sticks and stones are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art,
Words can sting like anything
But silence breaks the heart.
~Phyllis McGinley, "Ballade of Lost Objects," 1954
