PART 2- SIGNS OF POOR COMMUNICATION IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP/MARRIAGE!!!

(6) Using profane Language -
One of The most dangerous things about profanity is how quickly it can
go from casual to destructive in meaning. Profanity has no place in
relationships. We should only use language that builds up our
partners.
("Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is
good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to
those who hear." ~Ephesians 4:29)

(7) Nagging – If someone constantly pesters, follows their partner
around yelling at them, sends relentless and redundant texts and
emails, etc… this is out of order and it is called nagging. Nagging
creates fatigue in the bonds of a relationship. It creates a very
difficult situation for each person to hear what the other is trying
to say.
("A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver."
~Proverbs 25:11)

(8) Ignoring – If someone is ignoring their partner for the intent of
causing hurt or harm, this is definitely an issue. Not responding is
when someone has good reason for choosing not to respond at that
moment. In this case, we are talking about when someone has impure
motives and they choose to ignore the other person in an effort to
create conflict in the relationship. This is really more for
attention-seeking and control. However, it does speak to deeper
issues. This is an area of communication that should be dealt with if
it becomes a problem or pattern of behavior.
("Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and slander be
put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another,
tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
~Ephesians 4:31-32)
Closing Thought:
We are all human. We may not feel exactly the same from one day to the
next. However, it is critical to always consider the impact of our
behaviour on the ones we love. Bad communication in a relationship
does not mean the entire relationship is bad. It does mean this is an
area you should work on. No matter how much love exists, bad
communication is a seed that has (time and time again) compromised
trust and, ultimately, destroyed relationships.
