Levels of Communication in Marriage - Part 2

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Continued from yesterday

There are five levels of Communication. A further read is encouraged on the subject of communication especially by the best selling author Gary Chapman.
I am sure you will find it rewarding and worth your while.

1. The Hallway talker

In this type of conversation no intimacy is developed or worked at. This conversation doesn’t involve wanting to know the feeling or thought process or pattern of the other person.
The conversation is on autodrive.

You have a particular way of response to what is said or asked. Example,

‘How are you doing?’.

‘Fine’.

‘How are the kids?’

They have gone to school.’

The essence of communicating with each other is develop intimacy. No deep communication, no intimacy. And intimacy is the essence of marriage.

Why am I married if I can’t enjoy love, acceptance, understanding, oneness, sincerity and transparency?

Every married couple, should aim at climbing the steps of communication to further develop the intimacy between them.

You can’t be involved in monosyllable answers and expect intimacy to be developed.

If couples are not careful or well discerning, twenty years of their marred life will pass so quickly and they will discover they have not improved on their communication and that they are still in the ‘hall way’ method of communicating.

They were distracted by work, a busy schedule, distracted with the children and yet each spouse were just coping and not really pleased with each other.

The children are grown and they are now left with each other to deal with the hurts piled up for so many years and not talked about.

May God in His mercy send help to us out of Zion in Jesus name.
