ABSTRACT

The study examined the impact of effective communication in marriage. Communication is viewed as an interaction and sharing of ideas among individuals or groups of people. Effective marital communication skills positively correlate with marital satisfaction and are considered to be of great importance to happily married couples. It also leads to a better understanding and increases intimacy between couples. Communication is a fundamental interaction in relationships and marriages. Not only is communication important, but there are also many ways individuals can choose to communicate with one another. Communication is a specific learned action that is very important in maintaining a relationship because it allows you to explain to someone else what you are experiencing and what your needs are. The act of communicating not only helps to meet your needs, but it also helps you to be connected in your relationship. The study concluded that marriage is a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, governed by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that define the spouses’ rights and responsibilities, as well as the status of their offspring. Moreover, that marriage exists to bring a man and a woman together as husband and wife to be father and mother to any children their union produces. One of the recommendations made in the study was that for a unique and sustainable relationship in marriage, couples should enhance their relationship by understanding and applying relational communication skills to each other.
