Legit.ng reached out to Certified Relationship Coach Taiye Aluko to provide insights on on the importance of effective communication in building and maintaining a strong romantic connection:
The importance of effective communication in marriage cannot be overemphasized. It is extremely important and this is because everything a couple will do with each other will ride on communication. Being able to communicate your needs, feelings, dreams and aspirations in a manner that your partner can understand is important.
She says that communicating is also about listening and most times we want to talk but are lazy to listen. Being patient to listen to your partner is a great way to communicate love and it also validates feelings.
