The Importance Of Communication In Relationships

I am satisfy because at this point the quality of this relationship is good. If I am not at home, we would chat over the phone every night. We share things that happened each day, and we share plans we made for ourselves. We know other one’s schedule, and we always leave free time to spend together. It is normal that one of us handles all housework when other one couldn’t do it. I can’t remember the last time we argued. We always discuss and fix problems together.

My colours from strongest to weakest: Gold - Orange - Blue - Green.

I feel my strongest colour is accurate. According to information pages, people who have gold as strongest colour need rules and standards. Most of the time before I took actions, I checked and made sure there

Keep communication channels open is the best way to destroy barriers. For example, a lot of young people keep their eyes on their phones, but I don’t.

Also, it could help to develop my abilities to tolerate emotion and to self-soothe automatically (Lewis, Haviland-Jones, & Barrett, 2008).

Moreover, I will try to force myself use more problem-solving or externalizing emotion regulation strategies (Lewis, Haviland-Jones, & Barrett, 2008).

They are not always effective, and sometimes they harm my relationships. Depends on the situation, in future I will try to regulate my emotions by planning active steps or engaging in
