Communication In Relationships: How To Build And Maintain Bonds With People In Life, Love, And The Workplace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783903331082)

Decode your relationships and discover why men are from Mars and women are from Venus...

A 75-year Harvard study found that love is the secret to a fulfilling life.

But if that s true, why do so many people break up?

Did you know that:

• There is 1 divorce approximately every 36 seconds. That's nearly 2,400 divorces per day, 16,800 divorces per week and 876,000 divorces a year
• 70 percent of straight unmarried couples break up within the first year
• The divorce rate for couples over 65 years old has doubled since 1980

Let s stop looking into sad facts and rather analyze the big Why question.

The #1 reason for the dramatic increase in breakups is that we don t take time for real communication within our relationship.

In a fast-paced life where everything needs to be quicker and more efficient, there is no time to waste.

You only listen to the words your partner say, but you forget to interpret the needs that he or she sends in hidden messages.

Communication doesn t always need to be verbal.

According to Psychology Today, more than half of all communication in conversation is done in nonverbal form.

Based on our gender segregation, boys and girls grow into different social roles.

These roles come with a secret language and sometimes you wonder if your loved one is a creature from another planet.

Remember the saying "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus".

He Why does she always get me wrong.
She How can t he know, what I mean. Isn t it obvious?

Men communicate on a factual level. Women on an emotional level.

No wonder the #1 relationship killer is miscommunication in all areas of life.

This includes romantic relationships, of course, but it also applies to friendships and coworker or manager-team relationships.

The key to any relationship is good communication.
