The importance of communication and trust in relationships

Many couples work with us on the Heart of Relationship Couple Counselling and Coaching Programme because they are tired of arguing, tired of not being heard or understood and tired of feeling like they are dead in the relationship as the passion, connection and togetherness has been stunted. 

Communication and trust in a way is the glue that holds the relationship together.  Without proper communication couples can not speak with each other clearly. Without trust couples cannot build a relationship.

At times John and I will work together with a couple if they request it - to allow them to get a full female and male perspective - this allows the couple to receive the both the powerful feminine and masculine energy in the room to guide and work with the couple. Many clients say this gives them incredible insight, awareness and healing in the relationship and helps them to move forward in their relationship to where they want to be.

An aspect of John's work which I love and respect is watching John teach couples the art of communication skills.  If the couple have been arguing for years and they have been stuck in their inner rage and they have forgotten that they are actually a partnership not two sides fighting for power. 

As John teaches the couple the skills to communicate with respect, honour and with their truth and to be able to really hear with their heart, mind and body what their partner is saying I find this an incredible powerful process to witness.

As the couples learn the art of communication skills and more importantly implement and embed these skills into their life and relationship - they begin to embrace each other with respect and love perhaps for the first time in years. It's a privilege to be part of their journey.

The light in their relationship begins to shine more brightly as they connect to the passion, connection and togetherness as they begin to understand their own needs and their partner's needs and how to articulate this.

From this place trust in the relationship begins to be nurtured and developed and the relationship begins to be alive again and is even more stronger and powerful then it was before.

Proper communication and trust are fundamental to relationships as this is what holds the relationship together with understanding, awareness and meaning. From this place the relationship naturally continues to grow and develop into an even more loving and fulfilled relationship and partnership.
