Love and Communication
Love Quotes
Romantic-love relationships are made or broken by the effectiveness or
ineffectiveness of communication. The essence of mutual self-disclosure is
communication. And no element of communication is more important to romantic
love than that of feelings and emotions.
--Dr. Nathaniel Branden
Some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real
faint --like a heartbeat. And pure love -- why, some days it's so quiet, you
don't even know it's there.
--Erma Bombeck
The number one way a man can succeed in fulfilling a woman's primary love needs
is through communication. By learning to listen to a woman's feelings, a man can
effectively shower a woman with caring, understanding, respect, devotion,
validation, and reassurance.
--John Gray
For women, "I love you" is the sweetest phrase in the world. But not every man
who says it means it. On the other hand, some men may feel it deeply, but still
find it hard to say. There are several reasons these words might stick in a
man's throat. The first is that, quite commonly, men have a difficult time
expressing the emotions they feel most deeply. Another reason is the words "I
love you" might be interpreted as a marriage proposal. So that nothing gets lost
in the translation, men with this concern will wait for the time in which they
can back up their words with a lifetime commitment.
--John Gray
Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which
both attracts and heals.
--J. Isham
You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.
--M. Scott Peck
The best time to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or
bust.
--Josh Billings
Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep
after.
--Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just
listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our
attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect
than the most well-intentioned words.
--Rachel Naomi Remen
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual
valuing.
--Rollo May
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual
differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and
rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing
family.
--Virginia Satir
Men and women belong to different species, and communication between them is a
science still in its infancy.
--Bill Cosby
When we communicate we hear, understand, and accept another person we have
elevated the other person from being just an anonymous person to being a person
of importance.
--Unknown
