There are four ways we communicate with other people. Only one is healthy. Which one are you?
The basic types of communication are:
(1) Assertive
(2) Passive
(3) Aggressive
(4) Passive-Aggressive
Did you know we communicate both verbally and nonverbally? Nonverbals include body language, eye contact, presentation (clothing, cleanliness, etc.).
Which type of communicator are you?
If you're assertive, then you are tactful when getting your point across, you stay true to yourself, and everyone views the situation as win-win.

Is there a right and wrong way to handling conflict in your relationship?
If you're in a relationship, you've most likely had a spat or two. And according to recent research, arguments about small, nagging things may happen as often as 312 times per year.

But regardless of all the small arguments, or how your mother messed you up, enduring screaming matches multiple times a day with your spouse, or stonewalling your boyfriend post-argument may mean that your disagreements have gotten the better of your romance. It's helpful to know the hot button issues in relationships, and the red flags indicating that it's gone from lovey-dovey to knock-down, drag out.

I’m sure you have seen it before. You and your partner go out for a nice dinner and get seated next to another couple. They begin bickering, and before long you are sorry you are sitting next to them. Their talk is unkind to one another, and you can only wonder why they are hashing their problems out over dinner.
Men. Who can understand them? Not me. The thing about men I understand the least is how they fight. I literally feel like I'm speaking another language when I'm arguing with my dude.

That's when I feel like that men are from Mars, women are from Venus BS might have some truth to it.
