The role of communication in any kind of relationship is crucial. It is the way to let the other person know about your feelings, your thoughts, and your intentions. And there’s literally nothing more important in a relationship than to know your partner better. But for that to happen you need proper communication between you two. As some relationship experts quote, “Without a doubt, communication is the most important skill to have in any relationship,” says Dr. Michele Kerulis. The importance of communication can also be seen as a conflict resolver.
